Not exactly sure why they did CD4/CD8. Not exactly the normal diagnostic flow. The new recommendations revised by the CDC is as follows and that is do a 4th generation test which you had done and then if it's negative then it's over. No need for anything else.

The CD4/CD8 is not FDA approved to diagnose HIV but it is approved to monitor counts once HIV is diagnosed.
Nothing you have provided has indicated a need for CD4 counts so any clinical relevance will have to come from your doctor. I take it you have never been HIV positive based on your antibody test.
