0.20 is never a positive on an ELISA test.
>1.0 is a positive result.

[LegendMe]

sorry its not coming properly once i submit ... there is something wrong ... i will put in this way

this is how it look like

TEST NAME  : HIV 1&2 Elisa
Results : 0.09
Range: less than 0.20 = Negative and Greater than 0.20 is positive

(hope this will get posted properly )
