I reason my mantoux examination be done wrong..?

kay, I've gotten a mantoux test.. and Wikipedia's answers state that i have HIV.. which is IMPOSSIBLE for me o-o
little dot is about 1 mm across, and it's be that way since i got the shot.
is this normal? or did the female do the test wrong?

i think she might of plain-old did the test wrong.. she might of only injected the stuff into me.. does that have any negative side effects?
Answers:     I'm not sure how your HIV status come into this because the Mantoux is for TB. Maybe if you were already diagnosed with HIV they might want to check you because you might be more susceptible. And that's the whole model of the test, injecting the sterilized protein derived from the bacillus and seeing if you react to it.. It doesn't sound similar to the nurse did anything wrong.
mantoux tests tor tuberculosis...
the shot is supposed to swell, but if it swells to 5 mm or more, it is an indicator that you probably have tuberculosis.
people next to HIV usually get tuberculosis more easily because of their weakened immune systems...
