the fact that drug addicts , who are mostly men ; hemophiliacs , who are all men ; and sexually-overactive gay men , made up 99-plus percent of those testing hiv-positive was evidence , at least to me , that one of two things had to be true : first , the hiv elisa test itself was so overly sensitive that it was reacting with a lot of different antibodies these particular people carried around more than others ; or two , the test proteins themselves were not specific or unique to hiv and therefore allowed antibodies created against other diseases to react with the test kit too often .
