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 describes the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person?
Viral load is the term used to describe the number of virus particles circulating in an infected person. It is an important measure of virus replication and infectivity. Tracking viral load levels can help in monitoring disease progression and response to treatment.
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 range in milliliter is the viral load for hepatitis c?
50 to 100,000,000 IU/ml
What part of the HIV virus serves to protect the nucleic acid core?
viral load
The number of virus particles circulating in an infected person's body is called what?
Viral load
What test is ran using white top tube?
Hepatitis; HIV viral load
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.
After starting antiretroviral therapy what is an acceptable target for viral load that indicates the therapy is effective?
40
