A member asked:
What does it mean if your hiv/aids test shows up as invalid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indeterminate?: In HIV testing, the words that are most commonly used are "negative, positive and indeterminate". The word invalid may refer to a problem in the testing in which some or all results were considered invalid. If that is the case, you will need to have the test(s) repeated.
