Hi,
Thanks for asking.
The values given on the top shows the normal values.
The second line indicates that there is no antibodies in your blood which will react with the HIV test. (If you were infected, you would have HIV antibodies, which would react in the test)
There are two types of viruses in HIV - HIV-1 and HIV-2
As both are non-reactive, it means - you are negative and you are as per test, not suffering from HIV/AIDS.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
