Brief Answer:
Possibly false positive test results first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you probably had a false positive test result first since the other two tests were negative. The false positive test results often happen on a certain percentage for every test.
I don't think you should worry about it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
