Undetectable May 24, 2008 Hi Mark, I've been undetectable since November of 2007. I was curious if my viral load is still decreasing I mean I know right now it is under the level of detection on ultra sensitive test. But I do understand that some of the virus remains in some of the cells,tissues. Are these reservoirs being decreased over time |

 The reservoirs do decrease, but this decrease has been hard to quantify. Given that the virus integrates into a person's DNA, it is very unlikely that the total amount of HIV will ever get to zero. | ||||||||
