Brief Answer:
The results reveal that you are having HIV disease.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Sorry, that your results interpret that you are having HIV. HIV is just like any other infection. If treated properly anybody can live as long as that of an individual without HIV. It is a manageable disease. One can live decently and comfortably without much discomforts for ever if there is a good drug adherence and life style modifications suggested by your treating physician.
This High normal index value is not directly proportionate to the severity of the disease. Only a viral load and CD4 count will indicate the level of the disease.
Wish you a have pleasant days ahead.
