Question
My viral load is undetectable can I be reinfected?

Hi. If my viral load is undetectable and I have unprotected sex with someone who has a high viral load with a different strain of HIV, will my meds stop me contracting that form of HIV as well?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
Given that your HIV is under control, it’s very unlikely that you’ll be reinfected, this is because your meds will protect you. For further info, please see here: https://i-base.info/ttfa/section-2/7-reinfection-with-hiv/
Hi Gertrude, are you talking about your CD4 count being 700? or your viral load?
Hi I am on ARVs since 2015 and my viral load
has been suppressed since then and CD4 now on seven hundred and something so I am asking if I can be reinfected if I have sex with an HIV positive person or will I infect that person?
