Health Query

Is HIV report from Dr. lab is conclusive? I have had unprotected sex 2 year back on January 2017. On 4 October 2018 and 10 October 2018 I had got hiv1&2 antibody screening test serum the result of first test was index value 0.07 non reactive and the result of second test was index value 0.17 nonreactive. Is my test from Dr. lab conclusive. i am HIV negative.

The "index value" (also called the "signal-to-cutoff ratio") is a technical term having to do with how this type of HIV-antibody test is conducted. Values less than 0.90, like yours, are definitively negative. However, none of this applies to you, as you are conclusively HIV negative. YOu are negative for HIV.
