HIV Test!

Teak , can you reply on this please:


I went for HIV Test (Antibody test) at 28th Day, it was negative (0.142). Then i took the test again at 40th Day, it was still negative (0.194), then number was increasing, so i took the test again after 2 days (at 43rd day), it was still negative (0.214), but number has been kept increasing. Does this increasing number in repetitive tests mean anything?

No it does not mean anything. You can test several times in one day and get a different result. As long as it isn't 1.0 or higher then you are negative.

Is there any logic behind this change in number? Body condition, temperature etc..?
