need expert advice

I didn't listen to guys here and tested after hand job incident.  Bioaciences sent results as HIV rna-1 detected with viral load <20.  They gave no viral load count and log said no numeric value given.  Antibody came back negative at 7 1/2 weeks.  Before this incident I had unprotected vaginal sex and tested negative six months later.  What are the chances that the lab, prom lab, online service, or bio science, did not indicate the correct result and accidently put RNA detected instead of undetected, since no viral load count was present and I'm not on antiviral drugs.  Could I be an elite controller?  Thanks much for your time and advice.

It's a false+.

Now, you've opened an unnecessary can of worms.  You do not have HIV.

You would be smart to seek therapy rather than continue to test for HIV.

That's what I said.  He said they will pull your worksheet and compare what the assay testing reported.  From the report I got today it showed <20 under units, as posted above.  Are they pulling my chain or was that test partially conclusive?

They jus called me to tell me they're pulling my worksheet to see what the assay showed after I threatened them with a lawsuit, since they won't give me a viral load count.  Said they'll get back to me tomorrow. Bastards!
