See below: The negative predictive value of these tests is extremely high, meaning that a negative test result will be correct more than 9, 997 times in 10, 000 (99.97% of the time). The very high negative predictive value of these tests is why the cdc recommends that a negative test result be considered conclusive evidence that an individual does not have hiv.
