Brief Answer:
The chembio rapid test is very accurate.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back.
I am sorry for my late response.
You should know that usually, a chembio rapid test is very accurate. Nevertheless, there are some recent information that flu vaccination can cause some degree of nonspecific cross-reacting antibodies, which can confuse HIV-antibody tests ('indeterminate' rather than "false positive" HIV test).
But this information is not very well confirmed.
So, just to be calm and not to doubt about the result. I suggest doing a rapid test or a 4th generation HIV test after 1-2 month from the flu vaccination.
Hope I have answered your query.
