 Hello, No. You have no cause whatsoever to be worried. There is no difference between a non-reactive (0.35) and a non-reactive (0.41)! The "non-reactive" part is the only part that matters. Think of it like pregnancy. You either are or you are not pregnant. There is no such thing as a little bit pregnant or gradually becoming pregnant, OK? Bottom line: you're HIV negative. Just remember to use latex condoms each and every time and you'll avoid both HIV and pregnancy! Dr. Bob | ||||||||
