False Positive HIV - Pregnancy

I am 10 weeks pregnant and got my intital bloodwork done a month or so ago. My HIV blood test came back negative screening test but a positive PCR test. Doctor figured false positive so 4 weeks later we tested again. Same result came back. She’s now referred me to an infectious disease doctor. She said in all her years as a doctor she has never had this happen, I even asked if pregnancy had anything to do with it (googled seemed it might). She wasn’t as convinced, but having covid in the past is research they are looking at. Has anyone else had this happen? According to the internet pregnancy is a more common reason for a false positive than what she’s letting on.
