No. You can still get a headache, muscle spasms, rashes, an STI, to name a few. The goal of achieving an undetectable status is to keep your hiv virus from replicating. When undetectable you cannot infect your partner. That in itself is miraculous considering the way it was before we had any meds at all. So many people died. Just look at the Aids Quilt.

Achieving an undetectable viral load through consistent antiretroviral therapy can significantly reduce HIV-related symptoms, including headaches, rashes, and muscle pain. However, it's important to note that while many symptoms may improve, they might not disappear completely for everyone. Factors such as other health conditions, medication side effects, or immune system damage from the earlier stages of HIV might still cause these symptoms. Always discuss persistent or new symptoms with your healthcare provider to ensure appropriate management and care.
