<s>[INST] What do the test results mean? [/INST] If You Are Positive
If you test “Positive,” it means that you are infected with HIV. A positive diagnosis also means that you can spread the virus to others if do not take precautions. You will not die from HIV, but you should seek medical attention immediately.

If You Are Negative
If you test “Negative,” it means that you were not carrying HIV antibodies at the time of the test. However, it does not necessarily mean that you are not infected with HIV. If you took the test during the “window period”-the period of time between transmission and your body’s recognition of the virus-it might just be too early for a test to detect HIV in your bloodstream. For the most accurate results, wait three to six months after suspected transmission to get tested. If you do test negative, just remember that you can still become infected in the future and you must remain careful. Source: AUSTIN TEXAS. Link: https://www.austintexas.gov/page/hiv-faq .
