Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
These numbers or value has nothing to do with the clinical outcome of these diseases.
It means that you are free from HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C.
You need not give any importance to these 'cut off ' values. Anything less than the cut off value is negative and these cut off value may differ from each test according to the marketing companies. More than this it has no predictive inference.
