Control band is to compare the test results of patients. If you do not understand, forget it, it's a normal. Lab standard. You are HIV negative. Also do HBsAg and VDRL tests after 90 days of exposure. To better understand all these please take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain you what is to be done.
