pregnancy tests post-abortion

[pvalov-rings.livejournal.com]

I just read that pregnancy hormones can be found in your body up to a year after an abortion. (from this site: http://afterabortion.com/physical.html)

What does this mean for pregnancy tests taken within the next year? Can it still show up positive even though I'm no longer pregnant?

After a m/c I had several years ago, my hormone levels remained high enough to test positive for 3.5mos, as monitored weekly by my doc.
