Hi,
I did ICMA test for HIV from labcorp and it says
HIV 1/O/2 Abs−ICMA 01
HIV 1/O/2 Abs−Index Value <1.00 <1.00 01
Index Value: Specimen reactivity relative to the negative cutoff.
HIV 1/O/2 Abs, Qual Non Reactive Non Reactive 01
Does it mean I m negative, would the tests capture all subtypes of hiv 1 and 2. I called labcorp customer care and they didnt say anything
I read on the net that there are so many subtypes of HIV 1 and 2. I m very much worried
thanks

Yes Teak sometime back,
But just got worried again since someone told me that these tests dont detect subtypes.
Thank you for your help
