When you get tested for HIV, there are a few different types of tests that can be used. The most widely used test is called an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), which looks for antibodies in your blood that are produced by your immune system if you are infected with HIV. The results of the ELISA can be either positive or negative. A positive result means the test has found HIV antibodies in the blood sample. This means that you are infected with the virus, but not necessarily that you have AIDS. A negative result means no antibodies have been found in the sample
ELISA tests look for antibodies in your blood that are produced by your immune system if you are infected with HIV. This is a common type of test that looks for antigens such as the HIV virus itself, or antibodies specific to the virus (anti-HIV).
ELISA tests are used to test for HIV antibodies in the blood. The ELISA test is a very accurate test, but not 100% accurate.
The ELISA test is a screening test. This means that it looks for antibodies that your body has made in response to the presence of HIV in your blood. If there are antibodies present, the result will be positive, and if there aren't any, the result will be negative.
When you get a positive result from an ELISA test, it means that one or more of these things happened:
A positive result means the test has found HIV antibodies in the blood sample.
A negative result means no antibodies have been found in the sample.
This is not a diagnosis and should be confirmed by further testing.
You may be concerned about whether you have been infected with the virus. If so, the good news is that there are many treatments available for HIV and AIDS patients today, which can help manage symptoms and prevent further complications. With proper treatment and care, HIV-positive people can live long lives without serious health problems.
A positive result on your test does not mean that you will definitely develop AIDS right away or even ever! A person who tests positive for an antibody to HIV (the AIDS virus) can live quite comfortably without developing any symptoms at all.
You may still have many years of normal activity ahead of you before serious illness occurs—and even then it will depend on several factors such as age at infection, previous health status prior to infection; genetic susceptibility; whether other infections occur concurrently; adherence with medications prescribed by physicians treating HIV/AIDS patients as well as lifestyle choices made by individual patients themselves."
How to know whether a person is infected with HIV?
You can find out if you have contracted HIV by getting tested. The results of the testing will tell you whether or not you have been exposed to the virus. There are many different types of tests that can be used to check for HIV, including:
The answer is yes. It means the result is negative, or that there is no sign of HIV in your blood.
The answer is no. This means that your result was positive, which would mean you have been infected by HIV and/or AIDS, which can be transmitted through sexual intercourse and also breastfeeding. A negative test result does not mean you are free from the virus.
If your results are not clear then it means that they need further testing before they can be verified as being positive or negative results, whatever those may be based on what kind of test was performed on your sample in question
Answer:
The result of 0.1 for HIV I & II Elisa test is negative. The cut-off value of 0.8 is used to interpret the results of this assay and it means that if you get a titer 1), then an infection might be present in your body which needs further investigation before accepting that you are not infected with any antigens detected by this test in your blood sample."
Yes, a result of 0.1 does mean that you're HIV negative. You should plan to get tested again in three months for your peace of mind.

A negative result means that the test is negative. It does not mean you are not infected with HIV, do not have AIDS, or can safely have unprotected sex.
The result is negative, but you need to get tested again in a few weeks.
If you think that the test was done wrong or used expired materials, contact the lab and ask them to check it out. They will be able to confirm if it was done properly or not.
You should also get tested for other STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) and HIV/AIDS at least once every year or two years depending on your situation.
In conclusion, the ELISA results are not accurate enough to diagnose you with HIV. If you have been infected with the virus, there is a chance that it will show up on an ELISA test. It is important that any positive result is confirmed by other tests such as Western Blot or PCR before making any decisions about treatment options or prevention strategies.
