Hi, Ravindra.

These are questions that must be asked of your conventional physician. There are many different conditions that can produce a false positive RA test in some tests that there is no way to respond from here.

If you are suspicious of RA it seems to me that your best bet would be to first get rid of the known causes of arthritis in general. See the arthritis archives and let us know what you learn.
