negative is negative. i've never seen a 0.0 test result and it does not mean you have antibodies present in your body.
all you've done is ask about testing. what was your risk?
Negative is negative (but note you need to test again at 12 wks for a conclusive result). Biology is not an exact science. Antibodies are not 100% specific and hence there's some degree of reaction to HIV antigens even in people who don't have HIV. This is also the reason why some people who are negative may actually test positive, requiring other tests to be used.
For the test to indicate HIV it has to be a strong reaction, indicating that the immune system has formed specific antibodies against HIV in sufficient quantity which is found in people with HIV.
thanx, so u r saying that some kind of numbers always come in that kind of test even with hiv negative people right??
