HIV tests results interpretation

Hello,

I'm a male of 29 years old, I had some exposures in the past (~3 months ago), I posted few other threads in order to find the cause of many symptoms, and also did several HIV tests (EIA 4th generation combo tests).

Even though many people told me that the exposures were low to zero, since they were oral (both given and received), I still had some persistent symptoms.

Recently I repeated some tests such as hepatitis (negative) and HIV (negative) and would require your help for an interpretation since the value for the HIV test increased a bit.

All tests were done in a known clinic from my country with very good labs and blood was extracted from the veins.
Here are the values for each:

6 weeks combo test - 0.08 S/CO
7 weeks combo test - 0.12 S/CO
10 weeks combo test - 0.11 S/CO
12 weeks combo test - 0.19 S/CO

Is there a problem that the last value increased?

Thank you

Your tests are conclusive, you do not have HIV. These numbers are called Index values, varies from test to test depending on the interference. Just ignore them as long as they are below the cutoff limit. Your tests are reported confirmed Negative
