Not Detected Meaning Hiv. Every year San Francisco AIDS Foundation conducts more than 15000 HIV tests. If youre undetectable you will still test positive for HIV.
HIV human immunodeficiency virus is obviously a virus which sometimes causes AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome whereas syphilis is caused by a bacterium Treponema pallidum. When you achieve a non-detectable or undetectable viral load it shows that the treatment is working. An undetectable viral load means that the level of HIV in your blood is below the threshhold needed for detection by this test.
If you have an indeterminate HIV test result you need to have an HIV test repeated at a later date.
For those who are still unsure an HIV-positive person can achieve undetectable levels after undergoing antiretroviral therapy ART. I would like to add even if you may know this already that this does not mean you are cured. An undetectable viral load is where antiretroviral treatment ART has reduced your HIV to such small quantities that it can no longer be detected by standard blood tests.
