It happens. Rare and usually second go round isnt as bad.

We wont know if the vaccine will be an annual booster either, not until we get 12 month data.

One could be a false positive too - it happens. i personally know several people who had them - confirmed by medical doctors to be false.

Is this a routine screening test or did he have symptoms? Having had the infection doesn't mean you won't be infected again but rather symptoms are unlikely if you get reinfected. Recent study of UK healthcare workers showed that immunity from infection is durable - all convalescents who were infected a second time were asymptomatic. Another study showed that many with asymptomatic or mild infections also developed immunity. Great news for those who have had it and it certainly is promising for the vaccine.

Looks like he was the opposite of most reinfections

Yeah, reinfection is EXTREMELY rare. So much so that I would bet the first test was probably a false positive. The odds are just simply too great.
Regardless, I hope he recovers quickly.

I would guess he was tested more than once last time. So probably not but we dont know.
