Hello, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
Firstly, the pregnancy test is positive.
After an abortion pregnancy test may remain positive for 6 weeks. But it is impossible to be positive for that previous pregnancy.
Just do an ultrasound scan of whole abdomen to rule out pregnancy and any chance of ectopic pregnancy.
Regards.
