What does a non-reactive or negative result mean? A non-reactive test result means that HIV antibodies were not detected in the specimen and the test result is interpreted as negative for HIV antibodies. However, those with a negative result but a recent exposure to HIV should get another test at least 3 months after the possible exposure. This is vital since antibodies sometimes do not appear until 3 months after infection with HIV. (I GOT THIS INFORMATION OFF A SITE CALLED "FRIEND TO FRIEND") HERE IS THE SITE LINK HERE BELOW--->>

I am not sure what the positive value 1.14 and negative value 0.026.. means...i wouldn't have a clue! Sounds like your HIV free though!
