HIV Test Results!

I went for HIV Test (fourth generation ECLIA Cobas 6000) at 28th Day, it was negative (0.142). Then i took the test again at 40th Day, it was still negative (0.194), then number was increasing, so i took the test again after 2 days (at 43rd day), it was still negative (0.214), but number has been kept increasing. Does this increasing number in repitive tests mean anything?

A duo test is conclusive at 4 weeks or anytime after.

It will do that,it means nothing.Just worry about your test result at the 90 day mark.

Cobas 6000 is the name of the analyzer not a test.
