Brief Answer:
The test result is normal for you

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The report shows that you do not have HIV 1 and HIV 2 infection detected. Therefore this is non reactive which means normal.

2. The test used is Indinavir (IDV) test and it tests for HIV monitoring because it is a protease inhibitor.

3. If required you can go for HIV rapid 4th generation test for HIV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies and p24 antigen. This is a recommended HIV screening test in many countries.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
