HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
An HIV result can either be reported negative (no HIV detected) or positive (HIV detected).
The biological reference means the expected or normal response would be negative.
According the result above, the test result is positive. It would be best to discuss this result with your doctor.
You should consider repeating it.
I hope this helps
