Salut,
Il n'y a pas de raison pour laquelle tu as besoin de t'excuser de ton anglais. Je t'ai compris sans problème. Toutefois, n'oublie pas que tu peux m'écrire toujours en français.
Bon, ta question et ta réponse . . . en français bien sûr. Quant à un test de dépistage du sida, non réactif veut dire négatif. Peut-être cette infirmière pensait à non réactif dans un autre contexte. Bien sûr, sur le plan de l'amour, non réactif peux vouloir dire qu'on doit le faire encore une fois, mais comme le résultat d'un test VIH, jamais. Non réactif est négatif, un point c'est tout.
Bonne chance. Bonne santé.
Dr. Bob
