You have misunderstood something you found on web searching. It is not true that the index value must be 0.0. It only must be lower than the index value that defines a positive result, which usually is 0.9. Any number below that mean the test is completely negative, that p24 antigen is absent. Your negative result at 42 days proves conclusively you do not have HIV. Congratulations!
