The term âviral loadâ refers to the amount of HIV in a sample of your blood. When your viral load is high, you have more HIV in your body, and that means your immune system is not fighting HIV as well.
During this initial stage of HIV infection, the immune system is unprepared to attack the virus which therefore reproduces at very high levels. A viral load test at this stage will usually show high levels of HIV in the blood â often higher than at any other stage of HIV infection.
