  C) Let's do a repeat test. I'm pretty sure that something's got mixed up with this test.

Ans: D
The initial stage of the grief reaction to HIV/AIDS diagnosis consists of shock, numbness, and disbelief. Blame of oneself or someone else is likely to emerge later, as is denial of the validity of the results.
