A member asked:
If my hiv viral load is undetectable, would that mean i show up negative on a hiv blood test?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Congratulations on achieving an undetectable HIV viral load on assay. You will still have the antibodies, which are what a routine HIV blood test measures. But keep up the good work, and be proud.
