What Does It Mean to Have âUndetectableâ HIV? Increasingly we are talking about embracing an identity where we are openly living, without shame, not just as people with HIV but, crucially, as people with an undetectable virus. And yet it’s important to remember that it’s still possible — however unlikely — to transmit HIV even with an undetectable viral load. Though the person’s blood may contain minuscule amounts of the virus, it may still exist in other bodily fluids, like semen or vaginal or rectal fluids.

You still have HIV and need to stay on ART to remain healthy.
