I had unprotected sex about three years ago while in a very short lived heterosexual relationship. I have not had any sexual relationships since, or hiv symptoms, but have been nervous about my past. I recently tested positive via the Western Blot, however, Ive been told my viral load is undetectable and my t-cell count is about 860. My doctors assistant called to ask me to have more tests done, because with my viral load being undetectable and t-cell count in the range of a healthy person, I could not be hiv+ but they just want to be sure. I know that Western Blot tests can be incorrect a very, very small percentage of the time, but does this make sense to you? Could it be that I actually am not hiv+ even though the Western Blot says I am? (Im wanting a second opinion.)

If the screening EIA and western blot are both positive, then that indicates HIV infection. People can be HIV infected and have an undetectable viral load, particularly with a normal CD4 count such as yours. This usually indicates that the immune system is doing a very good job of containing the infection on its own without the need for HIV treatment.
