| Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, Yes, despite having an undetectable HIV plasma viral load, you will still have a positive (reactive) HIV-antibody test (ELISA, EIA, rapid test, home test, Western Blot). You can read much more about the difference between HIV-diagnostic tests (ELISA, Western Blot, etc.) and HIV-monitoring test (viral load, CD4 counts, etc.) in the archives of this forum and elsewhere on this site. Have a look! Dr. Bob | ||||||||
