    it looks like it says negative, as it has the "negative". and it looks like it says a "1.09" means a positive. but im not completly sure

      Right, it looks negative from the results but my doctor reached out and said I'm positive and I think its a mistake... I haven't had any symptoms and the last time I had sex was in May, If i was exposed I would know by now right?

    i got the same exact result. you're in the "equivical" zone which does not indicate a positive. you should get tested again in 4-6 weeks. do you have a date of exposure?

      My doctor finally responded to me and said that I'm positive which I don't think so, it has to be a mistake. I don't have any symptoms and I don't think my results show that I am. I haven't had sex since May and if I was exposed then I would know by now right?
