Brief Answer: Confirmatoryand conclusive.HIVfree.No further test Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to XXXXXXX You are absolutely free from HIV. CMIA is a latest developed test for HIV to detect the presence of antibodies in presence of an infection. This test is highly sensitive and specific. If it is negative after 6 months, it is assured and confirmed that you are HIV free. Cut off value for various tests will vary according to the manufacturer's instructions. If anything less than the cut off value, the test is consideredto be negative and it indicates the you are uninfected. DR S.Murugan
