Hello,
OD means optical density, it is not the amount of organism in blood. So OD 0.07 result is negative for HIV. If your HIV report is negative as mentioned in history than don't worry about HIV and don't false interpret OD meaning.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
