It all depends on the test that is being used. Each test has their own window period.
It all depends on when the HIV decides to come out of it's hidden reservoirs. HIV can't be detected when it's hidden from my understanding.
The only way to spread HIV orally is if you have bleeding gums or open sores in your mouth. Even then, you BOTH would have to have this going on and BOTH be off medication. Otherwise, you can not… read more

As per my last post thanks for all the great responses. I feel so much better I’m in the green zone. However lots of questions on what truly is undectable. So many different opinions even from doctors. We know the tests are getting more sensitive on viral load and soon I’m assuming that under 10 will be the new normal than the current under 20.
