Three hundred eighty-eight human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - negative clients in Zimbabwe were retested at 3 months using 2 parallel rapid tests. One operator error ( risk, 0.26%; 95% confidence interval, 0.0065% - 1.4%) and no "true" seroconversions ( upper 95% confidence limit, 0.96%) were detected. High-risk behavior was not significantly reduced. Policies recommending routine retesting need to be reconsidered.
