What else can I help you with?
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 part of the HIV virus serves to protect the nucleic acid core?
viral load
What test is ran using white top tube?
Hepatitis; HIV viral load
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.
How long will a person with HIV and a CD4 count of 617 and Viral Load of 17000 live?
3 days
How effective is haart therapy for HIV in managing the virus and improving the quality of life for patients?
HAART therapy is highly effective in managing HIV by suppressing the virus and improving the quality of life for patients. It helps to reduce viral load, increase CD4 cell count, and prevent the progression of the disease. Patients on HAART therapy can lead longer and healthier lives with proper adherence to the treatment regimen.
What does the term undetectable viral load mean?
The term "undetectable viral load" refers to a level of virus in the blood that is so low that it cannot be measured by standard laboratory tests. This is often used in the context of HIV treatment, where achieving an undetectable viral load indicates that the virus is effectively suppressed by antiretroviral therapy. An undetectable status significantly reduces the risk of transmitting the virus to others. It is important to note that "undetectable" does not mean the virus is gone; it means it is controlled to a level that is not detectable.
What is HIV classifed as?
HIV is a viral infection.
Is HIV a viral or bacterial?
It is a Virus, infact the V in HIV stands for Virus
Can 90.000 replicates of HIV cause symptoms?
A viral load of 90,000 or higher is fairly high, however, HIV does not cause any symptoms of its own. HIV lowers the immune response, causing you to be more susceptible to other diseases.
Can elite controllers pass the virus on?
From the research that has been done, Viral Load has a direct correlation to risk of transmission. Since true Elite Controllers do not have any detectable viral load, they are not at risk of transmission. Additionally, since Elite Controllers are able to naturally kill the HIV Virus, if they are re-exposed, their natural immune system is able to fight off the virus. Whereas, if an HIV Negative person, who is not an Elite Controller, is exposed post HIV-Testing, that person would have a very high viral load, most likely not know it, and would be very contagious. Hence, the irony is that an HIV+ Elite Controller (HIV+ for antibodies) is probably one of the safest persons to have sex with vs. an HIV- person, who may actually be HIV+ and not know it AND be very contagious.
Can HIV contracted if a drop of HIV infected semen touches your nose?
Nope. Not unless you have a fresh open cut there.Also the risk is much lower if that person is on treatment and their viral load is low.
