Good Morning ~ Your test result from the same lab at two months of "0.07" is "nonreactive. That means you are definitively and conclusively HIV negative. The "index value" (also called the "signal-to-cutoff ratio") is a technical term having to do with how this type of HIV-antibody test is conducted. Values less than 0.90, like yours, are definitively negative! Values between 0.9 and 1.0 would be equivocal or borderline. And values above 1.0 would be preliminarily positive. These preliminarily positive (or provisionally reactive) tests require a confirmatory test before someone is told they are HIV positive (infected). However, none of this applies to you, as you are conclusively HIV negative. Any other clarification to allay anxiety is definitely invited.
It s not positive, dont keep worrying these baseline variations are normal and does not signify harboring the virus. Be in peace

No you're not positive. Don't worry. But please take precautions as it's an ugly disease.
