I can't interpret your results as the best person for that is your doctor and/or Grace/AJ as they are trained in the test reading.  

However, some questions that will help them.  

When were the test taken from your last sexual encounter?

Approximately three weeks from last encounter.

BTW: why do any antibodies show up in a test categorized as negative? Are these residue antibodies from childhood ilness?

No symptons.

I opted for the test after a former GF mentioned she was tested and was determined to be positive.

The test was accurate for that encounter 3 months ago.  I would suggest you have your partner tested to know thier status if they don't already.
