It wouldn't surprise me if this guy has just conflicting tests.
As I stated on another forum, at best HIV tests are 99.6% accurate. That means for every 1000 tests there are 4 errornous tests. At that rate there are hundreds of these situations per year. To my knowledge I have never heard of a lab that maintains perfect protocols for using these test. That would cause this situation to become quite common.
Hell, I can name a few people I've talked with that have had HIV positive and HIV negative tests. That anyone would think a cure could come from this is wishful thinking at best.
