shows: hiv rna detected, hiv pcr viral load is <20, hiv-1 pcr log is <1.30
Understanding your viral load is crucial in managing HIV. Here are some key points from the knowledge base:
- Viral Load: This measures the amount of HIV in your blood
- Undetectable Viral Load: When your viral load is so low that standard tests can't detect it. Achieving this means you can't transmit HIV to others Show Full Answer
Just know that's where you want it to be. 😉
I'm still struggle to understand it myself and I've been diagnosed almost 3yrs.
@A myHIVteam Member, your HIV RNA will ALWAYS show detected.
The HIV RNA test is a type of nucleic acid test (NAT). NATs are blood tests used to detect the genetic material of viruses and bacteria in your blood.
An HIV pcr viral load is a blood test that measures the amount of HIV in a sample of your blood. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. The test looks for genetic material from the virus in your blood. These tests are called molecular tests or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT or NAT).
