Test result confusion

Test done at labcorp through and internet 3rd party site. Just want to confirm test results are negative.

Panel 083824 Result Reference
HIV 1/0/2 Abs-ICMA
HIV 1/0/02 Abs-Index Value                   <1.00                         <1.00
HIV 1/0/02 Abs, Qual                   Non Reactive

Panel 163550
HIV-2 Abs, EIA
HIV-2 Ab-O.D. Ratio                  negative                   Neg:<1.00


Does this mean that both the HIV-1 and HIV-2 tests are negative. These test results came directly to me so I am a little confused.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,
AZ

If you got tested for any type of STD. When you get the results back, there are line up in colums. You'll see TESTS, RESULTS, FLAG, UNITS, and so on. If your FLAG colum is blank or empty, it means everything is normal and your test is negative.

If your test was done 3 months post exposure from unprotected anal or vaginal sex then you are conclusively negative.
