If you have only had one positive test for APS, then yes, you should be rechecked in 6 months. A good physician that is knowledgeable about APS will also check other clotting factors (like Protein C, Protein S, Glycoprotien and Factor V). It's not a simple one test diagnosis. Much of the general population can have a positive aCL (anticardiolipin), yet NOT have APS. Kind of like having a high ANA alone doesn't mean you have Lupus or Sjogren's or any other autoimmune disease. It's a comprehensive process and includes thrombotic events/symptoms.
Have you had a thrombotic event of any sort?
