Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

The results of the tests mentioned by you reveal that you are free from HIV 1 and 2 and also free from Syphilis provided that these tests are done after the widow period for these diseases. ( Window period for HIV is 6-8 weeks, for Syphilis it is 4-6 weeks). All these tests mentioned by you are highly reliable. So nothing to worry about the results.
