A "non-reactive" result indicates that the test did not detect HIV antibodies or antigens in your blood at the time of testing. And you have consistently received non-reactive results over a span of a few months. However, for definitive advice regarding testing intervals and your specific situation, it's essential to consult a professional who specializes in sexual health or infectious disease

Answered on 23rd May '24
Finding protein and pus cells in your urine could mean an infection or kidney problem. Zero Eosinophils? That might show you're not responding well to certain allergies. And low HDL cholesterol puts you at higher risk for heart disease. It's smart to talk to a doctor about these results. They can take a closer look and tell you what to do next.

What if iron readings are normal except % transferring saturation - 12% and result shows disease Ferritin transferring TIBC Iron. Hb - 11 for female
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
This may suggest that your body lacks iron. With insufficient iron levels, tiredness, weakness, and dizziness may be felt. In women, it could lead to low hemoglobin levels (Hb - 11) thus giving rise to anemia. You are, therefore, required to include foods high in iron such as red meat, beans, and leafy greens in your diet to enhance your iron levels. Further advice may necessitate taking iron supplements based on the orders made by your doctor. Also, there should be regular check-ups so that suitable directions are provided and tracking done.
