The developers knew from the start that it might trigger a false positive for HIV. The vaccine did NOT post any risk of the HIV infection. They used just a fragment of a protein that's also found in HIV.  It wasn't even derived from the HIV virus. But it had part of an amino acid sequence which is also found in the HIV virus. The protein fragment itself is completely harmless but it did elicit an immune response which interfered with the HIV tests.</blockquote>
