student asking question

In some grammar books they use "affirmative - negative" as a pair. But is it different from "positive - negative" pair?

No, to say "positive - negative" means the same thing as "affirmative - negative". The word "affirmative" has the same meaning as "positive", and so they are the same when used as a pair for grammar.
