Brief Answer:
Inherent values of the test
Detailed Answer:
Hi Junid Shah,
You have absolutely no reason to worry.
Can you tell me what is the exact name of the test for HIV done?
Most likely you had done a qualitative test like ELISA for HIV. in such test the values depends on the inherent nature of the test and has no great importance about the values that differ from person to person.
Your immunity levels differ from your male friend and so would be the values on the test. It does not mean that you have a high chance of HIV than your friend because your value is comparitively higher than his value.
Share the name of the test and I can provide more information.
