Did hiv cmia (qualitative) test index reading is 0.12 does it mean negative?

Q: did hiv cmia (qualitative) test index reading is 0.12 does it mean negative?

: Most HIV tests are positive only at index readings around 1.0 or higher; probably this is negative. If you have a test report showing index 0.12, it probably also shows the value that indicates a positive result.
