Email 703: Undetectable VL and the HIV Test

Posted by Pozziepinoy on 10:39 AM

If you are hiv+and on ARV which may leads to undetectable VL...i know you will be still HIV+ but if you have a HIV test will it shows HIV negative?

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi there.

Thank you for your email.

Even with undetectable viral load (VL), a PLHIV will still be tested positive in the HIV test because of the presence of the HIV bodies in his or her blood. 

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
