There's no indication that it triggered a positive HIV test, it says they tested positive for antibodies against the gp41 protein from HIV, the most likely explanation being because that's what they were injected with:
"The Molecular Clamp is a trimerization motif of 80aa in length (~9.2 kDa) derived from N- and C-terminal heptad repeat (HR) regions of HIV-1 gp41 which self-assemble into a stable six-helical bundle structure that is critical for driving membrane fusion and cell entry of HIV-1 (7) ( Figure 1 )." (the NCBI article)
"The Phase 1 data also showed the generation of antibodies directed towards fragments of a protein (gp41), which is a component used to stablise the vaccine". (the UQ link)
One antibody is not sufficient for a positive HIV test:
"Several HIV antigens are included in the test. The test is interpreted as positive if antibody to at least two of three antigens is detected (p24, gp41 or gp120/160). When no bands are found the test is negative. When some bands appear but do not meet the criteria for a positive result the result is considered indeterminate."HIV antigen/antibody

Where is the suggestion that they expect or want it to be accepted by the public? They cancelled the vaccine because of this and the project this was part of has been sent back to the drawing board to look for something else to use. As for the tests, has there previously been widespread finding of HIV antibodies in people who had never been infected with HIV? If not then how would it not be a new situation if a large number of people were given this vaccine and developed an (1) HIV antibody?
Pretty funny that the evil medical establishment says they're fine and healthy while you insist they now have a chronic HIV infection. Next you'll be saying they have to be put on HIV medications just to keep up with some protocol or other.
When this HIV-containing vaccine requires changes in the standard HIV diagnostic protocols in order to be rolled out, to me it is pretty clear why and where this is headed. Here is that quote again.
"...With advice from experts, CSL and UQ have worked through the implications that this issue presents to rolling out the vaccine into broad populations. It is generally agreed that significant changes would need to be made to well-established HIV testing procedures in the healthcare setting to accommodate rollout of this vaccine. Therefore, CSL and the Australian Government have agreed vaccine development will not proceed to Phase 2/3 trials."
I don't care what the medical "experts" said in regards to those people. There is a standard protocol for follow-up and confirming an HIV infection after testing positive once, and that protocol was not followed. So, to claim that those people are fine is unfounded.
