Brief Answer:
It suggests HIV test and VDRL tests are negative.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Report suggests HIV spot test and VDRL tests are negative.You are not suffering from either of these diseases.

However,it is important to know that HIV spot test is not very sensitive.It can miss HIV infection if it is in window period. P24 antigen test can be done for confirmation in window period.
So,you should consult your doctor and its necessity can be discussed.

VDRL test is done for STD's.Further more sensitive tests may be required depending upon clinical findings.

Hope I have answered your question.
Further queries are most welcome.

Take Care
