Brief Answer:
You are absolutely free from HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

You had not mentioned anything about your sexual activity. The prediction of the result depends upon your sexual activity and the time of your last contact

It is very obvious as per the results that you are HIV free. Anything less than 1 in your test indicates that individual is free from HIV. Your value is 0.240. So you are absolutely free from HIV. There is nothing to worry. All your symptoms are due to your anxiety and phobia. If you have more problem, it is better to consult a psychiatrist.
Relax and get well soon.

It is usual procedure in any laboratory not to reveal the results directly to the patients or the clients. Most of the times it has to correlated with the findings and some results not able to interpret by the technician.

Brief Answer:
Oral sex,fingering caries low risk.You areHIV FREE

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Oral sex and fingering has low risk for HIV.
As your test is HIV negative after 4 and half months, you can relax and you are free from HIV.
There is not much difference between expressing as 0.240 or O.24.
Don't get confused or imagine odd things. You are free from HIV.
