As there are several versions of how this is tested I would ask the lab doing the testing for the details.

For the most commonly used tests, a negative results means fewer than 20 copies. However, you can consider a negative result 100% conclusive, because nobody with untreated HIV has under 20 copies per ml. Untreated persons usually have over 10,000.
