99.01% chance?
99% accurate test, +.01% chance for potentially being one of the hundred afflicted?
Not entirely confident in my answer, math isn't my forte. Figured I would give it a shot though.

Sadly, it's a bit more complicated. You have to use the Bayes's theorem:
In the denominator it is the unconditional probability of a positive test (the probability of being tested positive if having the disease + being tested positive if not having the disease --> 1%99%+99%1%). I hope this helps.
