non responsive test result??
Does anyone know what non-reponsive test result means?? is it a negative result or in between??? do I need to re -test??
Thanks!
Thanks!
Its in a lot of testing information papers, pamphlets, documents and stuff like that. Plus thats the terms they use for any blood work that looks for a certain virus or problem not just the hiv tests.
Oh ok, well I explained it for you. Here is some more
negative/non-reactive/non-responsive = NO HIV
Positive/reactive/responsive= HIV+
Indeterminate= need to retest again
Got it??
negative/non-reactive/non-responsive = NO HIV
Positive/reactive/responsive= HIV+
Indeterminate= need to retest again
Got it??
I got a message from my doc telling me my results were negative. But when i called her back she read the results as being "non responsive". I'm just confused on what that means exactly.??
What puzzles me is why you didnt ask that to the person who gave you the results.
Thats a fancy way of saying negative. What it means is that the antibody detector did not respond to your blood which means there were no antibodies to detect. No antibodies=no HIV.
Congratulations, I hope you feel better.
