Hello and welcome to HCM,
This is a list of investigations done to know whether various infections- hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis are present in body of the child or not.
The test results show that all the tests are non-reactive or negative.
So, the child is free from hepatitis B, HIV and syphilis infections.
If any of these tests turned out to be reactive, confirmation tests had to be done but thats not the case here.
Thanks and take care
