I tested Positive of HIV after taking ARVs for six months I tested negative and I went to different doctors for test but all tests are negative why ???
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Can I just check. Do you mean you tested positive 6 months ago and now with treatment, you are testing negative.
Were you told what your CD4 count and viral load was before you started treatment? And was your result confirmed in a lab?
By negative do you mean another HIV test or are you talking about viral load? Viral load is a test used to see how active HIV is in your body. When on treatment people will usually have a result that says undetectable. This means the treatment is working really well and suppressing HIV.
Josh.
