Kill HIV-2? Do you mean detect? HIV-2 is a another type of virus than HIV-1, therefore for it to detect both it would need target a common motive for both. HIV-1 test would not be made to detect HIV-2. You can get false positives and negatives in any test, and yes some might lead to more false negatives but the test can still detect them.
