Hello,
positive means that beta chorionic gonadotropin (beta hCG) was detected in your blood and you're likely pregnant, although other conditions may also result in a positive test result. I don't understand why you did a qualitative test though. A quantitative test could have been much more helpful. I don't see any meaning for the "A" flag. The test can be either positive or negative...
You can contact me again, if you'd like more information about pregnancy confirmation or other details. I'll be glad to help.
Kind Regards!
