 It means below the level of detection and quantitation of the viral load assay. These assays today have a lower level of detection of 50 copies of virus/ml of blood. Thus, it does not mean zero. There is the possibility that there is detectable copies of virus present, but given the current sensitivity of the assays, they can't detect them. | ||||||||
