A member asked:
Just a general question. if someone with hiv is undetectable, then is their immune system still considered suppressed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe yes, maybe no: Congratulations on apparently effective treatment. With undetectable viral load, at least your HIV infection will not progress. However, the state of your immune system also depends on how seriously it was damaged before you started treatment. If you feel and look outwardly healthy, probably all is well. But you need to discuss this with the doctors providing your HIV care. Good luck!
