Viral load refers to the amount of HIV in the blood. An undetectable viral load is when the amount of HIV in the blood is so low that it canât be measured. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces viral load, ideally to an undetectable level, when taken consistently and correctly.
Most people have to take HIV meds to control the virus and become undetectable. About 1 in 300 people keep their viral load undetectable without taking medications. Also, about 5% of HIV-positive people maintain healthy CD4 T-cell counts for at least ten years despite not having an undetectable viral load. People in this category are called âlong term non-progressors.â Weâre still learning what factors in a personâs immune system or in the virus lead to this phenomenon.
