A member asked:
My husband was diagnosed with hiv 9years ago and has been on treatment ever since. a week ago, he decided to test again at the clinic, results were negative. he went again today and still results were negative. how is that possible??

Which test(s)?: There are several kinds of HIV tests. If the latest negative tests were for the amount of virus in the blood ("viral load"), it probably means his treatment has been very effective (which is good news!). However, if his originally positive test(s) were not confirmed, maybe he doesn't have HIV after all. His clinic doctors will be able to sort this out easily and quickly.
