A person with undetected viral load infect a negative person


 
Undetectable viral load means that the amount of virus in the blood is lower than the detection limit of the test. These days, tests can detect very low viral loads. Undetectable viral load _does not_ mean that the individual is HIV negative. Several studies have shown that individuals who are taking their Anti Retroviral drugs regularly, have an undetectable viral load and do not have any other sexually transmitted disease are essentially non-infective. However, it is good practice to use condoms at every act of sexual intercourse even if you have an undetectable viral load.
