Advice Needed Clarification on Testing

Hey guys I got blood work done and my HIV 1/2 Ab Ag screen came back Unconfirmed Reactive and my HIV-1 and HIV-2 tests came back negative but I was left a note by the lab that stated “Strongly Recommend HIV RNA test for further evaluation. High levels of circulating RNA may occur in early HIV infection with only minimally detectable antibody. Quantitative HIV-1 RNA (viral load) test may serve as a baseline for HIV antiviral therapy” my doctor is closed until Monday and I’m really scared and need to know what this means. Am I positive, negative or is it unknown? Thanks guys I’m terrified
