A member asked:

If i have an undetectable viral load will i be able to transmit hiv to a negative person?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HIV viral load: As long as you have an undetectable viral load you cannot transmit HIV to someone else. It's important to monitor your viral load on a regular basis by following the directions of your Infectious Disease specialist. If you are taking medications, be sure not to miss any doses.
