Teak...please answer

I was just wondering....



I was reading something in the forum to doctor HHH.  Someone posted about test results meaning .2 and .5.   My results both read <1.00  (2 months and 4 months as you know)  How come my results are different than that person's?  It says O.D. ratio: Specimen absorbance value relative to the negative cutoff and NON- reactive.  Why does my ratio say <1.00 if theirs gives an exact number?  It was an ELISA.  Could this just be a different test or something?  Kinda confused
Thanks, I appreciate your time

Non-Reactive means negative.  You are negative!

Yes, my gynocologist told me it was negative and the results papers say the results are "relative to a negative cutoff." I don't know why it just can't say "negative".  Both of them say the same thing of "Non-Reactive"

Did a trained person tell you that your results were negative?  If so, you are negative.  Why do you want to know the technical measurements behind it?  This is one test where you don't want a grade.  You just want to pass.
