   Hello..Does anyone on medication(ARVs Tenofovir,lemivudine,efavirenz) for 6 month was undetected?..

   Hi Eric,

   When someone starts ARVs their viral load should become undetectable within 1-3 months of starting meds. It doesn’t matter what the combination is. To know for sure you’d need to have a viral load test.

   Hi Eric,

   No you can’t transmit, as there’s no risk.

   Hi Eric,

   You aren’t at risk because the person who you’ve been having sex with has their HIV under control. Please see here: http://i-base.info/u-equals-u/

   Hi Joy,

   Yes you are undetectable. You’re undetectable because you have a viral load of less that 50, this is excellent.
