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.
It doesnât mean that there is no virus present, but that the amount is so low that the test cannot measure it. As HIV disease progresses, the viral load count tends to rise, so that someone who starts with a very low viral load count (say 5,000 copies of virus per drop) may rise to a very high viral load count (say, several hundred thousand or even more than a million copies of virus per drop of blood).
