-1 RNA/ml of plasma. The linearity range extends up to 10000000 copies/ml (log 7). The quantification is homogenous for all sub types of HIV-1 group M and HIV-1 group O tested, but is not applicable to HIV-2.
this test is exclusively reserved for the follow up of viral loads in HIV-1 seropositive patients. Due to an increased sensitivity, a residual viral load, not demonstrated by alternative techniques, and of which clinical impact is not established presently, may be detected.

"test is exclusively reserved for the follow up of viral loads in HIV-1 seropositive patients"
you must take a hiv antibody test..a test at 6-8 weeks will be a very good indication of your status,if negative test again at 3 months for a conclusive result..
the test you took is to check for viral load and is used in hiv positive people..it is not a diagnostic test for hiv...
you need to test using hiv antibody kit
