What does my hiv test results mean?

I took an HIV test yesterday and it came negative. It is testing for HIV 1/2. The unit is qualitative. what do they mean by qualitative ??

Hiv was not detected in your body at this time. they usually give a result of non-reactive, due to the fact that you could still be in your window period, but no, u are not showing anti-bodies for the virues at this time, Congrats! that is a good feeling to know!

That means positive or negative as opposed to quantitative where they would actually report the quantity of virus present anywhere from 0 to infinity.
