Hi,<\/p>\n

It is very likely that you already have an ‘undetectable’ viral load. Undetectable means that it is under 50. This is because you have already been on treatment for 5 months. Usually people become undetectable within the first month or two of treatment.<\/p>\n

You should ask your clinic for a viral load test. If they can’t give you one you should ask about your CD4 count. If that has been\u00a0rising that is a good indication that your treatment is working.<\/p>\n

You having an undetectable viral load will prevent your partner becoming positive. If you become pregnant it will also prevent your child becoming positive while you are pregnant and during birth. Finally it is good for your health too!<\/p>\n

You can find lots of information about HIV and pregnancy<\/a>\u00a0in our online guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
