A member asked:
My hiv dr. says my viral load is <20, therefore "undetectable." is there a test i can take to see exactly what my vl count is, even if it is below 20?

No: Congratulations! having an undetectable viral load means that the medications are working. Keep up the good work on taking your medications.
