Brief Answer:
It implies no infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can most certainly understand your concerns.

I apologize for the delayed response owing to my hectic work schedule.

Non reactive HIV test implies that your wife is NOT infected with this virus.

This test looks for antibody formation against the viruses once they enter the human body.

NON reactivity implies no antibody formation, hence no big viral infection.

Post your further queries if any.
Thanking you.
