Can HIV be treated to the point it is undetectable?
You can be treated to the point where the viral load is undetectable, but the antibodies will always remain and the HIV screening test will remain positive.
When the HIV viral load is at undetectable levels why is the CD4 count NOT going way up to much higher than 1000?
This is a good thing. If the viral load has dropped to undetectable levels, that means that very few viral cells are being produced. If your CD4 count is 1000 or better, that is a sign that the immune system is functioning well.
Can you receive anal from a hiv positive male and not get hiv?
Yes. Using a condom will protect you from catching HIV. If you do not use a condom, then the risk of catching HIV will depend on the HIV-positive partners viral load. The higher the viral load the higher the risk. Even with an undetectable viral load, HIV can still be transmitted.
What is meant by HIV being undectable?
An undetectable viral load is a term used for the amount of virus found per millimeter of blood is undetectable,It does not mean you are free from the virus,it simply means that the virus is under control.
What is viral load?
Viral load is a measure of the total amount of viral components present in the human blood. The greater the number, the sicker the patient.
What describes the number of virus particles circulating in an infected persons body?
Viral load refers to the number of virus particles present in an infected person's body. It is measured using laboratory tests and can give insight into disease progression and treatment effectiveness. Higher viral loads typically indicate a more active infection and potential for increased transmission to others.
My sister's husband has full blown aids she just had a baby are they both positive?
Not necessarily. A person either has HIV or AIDS. There is no such thing as partially blown AIDS, so full blown AIDS is just as absurd no matter how commonly it is used. Secondly, If a person with AIDS is put on medication, their viral load can reach undetectable, and their CD4's go back up. There have been reports of HIV positive people with undetectable viral loads giving birth to HIV negative children. If your that concerned, why don't you just ask your sister?
What color of tube is used for viral load?
Purple
Can you catch hiv from letting someone penetrate inside for a moment?
Theoretically yes. Exposure to HIV does not have to be long for transmission to occur. Are your chances low? Yes. Chances are increased based on a number of factors: - Amount of virus exposed to - Length of exposure - Viral load of HIV positive partner - Availability of HIV to enter your blood stream With a moment of penetration, there may not be enough time to do damage to either the vaginal or anal wall to expose someone to HIV. Chances are not 0%, however. The only sure way to know is to get tested.
What can reduce the potential for maternal to fetal HIV infection in a woman with a high viral load?
Factors that may increase the risk of maternal HIV transmission include the the amount of HIV in her blood; use of illicit drugs; severe inflammation of the fetal membranes; and, a prolonged period between membrane rupture and delivery.
What describes the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person?
Viral load
