Your ELISA result of 0.03 Sample to Cutoff is considered negative, meaning no infection is detected. You are currently in the safe zone. If this test was done soon after a potential exposure within 2 to 4 weeks, consider repeating the test after 3 months to rule out late seroconversion. Please consult a doctor for confirmation based on your history.

My HIV test report shows a value of 0.07. Could you please explain in detail what this means? I have attached the report. Also, if I have sexual relations with a single non HIV partner, is there any chance that this value could increase?

I had unprotected sex with an HIV positive woman. I took an HIV RNA PCR test after 28 days, and the result was not detected.

I recently took an HIV RNA PCR test 90 days after exposure, and the results were negative. Can I consider this as a conclusive result? Is there any chance that the result could be wrong at this stage or due to the diagnostic centre while reporting? Please help me.
