hi
the above test results shows that you are reactive for HIV.
regarding the stage of the disease and course of treatment you can please consult a medical officer at near by ART(ante retroviral therapy) Centre where you can get tested for CD4 counts if you are a resident of india.

plan of action and course of treatment depends on your CD4 count levels. if CD4 count is less than 350 then there is a need to put you on ante retroviral drugs and treat any co infection if present.
hope i have answered your question
all the best
