Elizabeth Holmes trial: live updates as former patient and journalist testify in Theranos case
Woman testifies Theranos blood test came back with false-positive for HIV
A former Thernaos patient testified that she received a false positive for HIV at a Walgreens store in 2015. The testimony was the latest turn in the federal fraud trial against the failed blood testing company's founder, Elizabeth Holmes.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - An important day of testimony began Thursday in the federal fraud case against Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes with two crucial witnesses for the prosecution set to take the stand.

Tompkins testified Wednesday that she received a Theranos blood test that falsely tested positive for HIV. Three subsequent tests from other companies showed she did not have HIV.
Parloff wrote a glowing profile of Holmes for Fortune magazine in 2014, which he later corrected after the company's technology was exposed to not work.
