Wondering if the HIV antibody/antigen 4th generation test is the same test for both genders? What I mean is, when the result is given with the number value, usually less than 1 is negative but is that number value range the same for both males and females? Like would less then 1 be negative for BOTH genders? I know some tests like haemoglobin, RBC and WBC have different value ranges for male and female, so is it the same for the HIV test too?
My test said a value and then it said negative. But I want to know if it’s the same range used for both male and females. I am a female. I just want to make sure the lab gave me the correct test but I am in a foreign country and I can’t really get the lab to understand me when I called and ask. So kindly help.
