@positive_ilo 1 year and 4 months na. Naka 3 extract na ako ng blood sample then same results. Inconclusive so wala pa din final confirmatory.

Went to my hub today to get refilled and got my confirmatory test result and for the third time it was Inconclusive or 1 out of 3 test was Non-reactive. So until now it’s not yet confirmed about my HIV status. Been waiting for it for over a year now. Anyone with the same issue??

@positive_ilo May slim chance po na false positive pero d na ako umaasa hehe. Sabi nalang nila continue ko muna intake ko ng gamot and wait for further instructions kung anong test ang gagawin ulit.

Concern regarding a person who had unprotected sexual intercourse with an HIV+ individual with a UD viral load status

QUESTION:
Hi doc I saw ur comment sa isang post dito, mejo worried lang po kasi ako I met someone and we had sex 3 times bare I'm the top and his the bottom then inamin nia na his positive pero UD di na daw nia nasabi since naka prep naman daw ako. He even showed me his CD4 count na mataas and check recent test nia his undetected. Am I still risk for transmitting the virus? I took prep everyday ever since ung last sex namin.

ANSWER:
First and foremost, I want to reassure you that individuals who have an undetectable HIV viral load cannot transmit the virus to their sexual partners. This concept is known as Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U), and it has been endorsed by leading health organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. People who consistently maintain an undetectable viral load through antiretroviral therapy are unable to pass on HIV to others through sexual contact.

Given that your partner has disclosed his HIV status to you and has shown you evidence of his undetectable viral load, you can rest assured that the risk of HIV transmission from him to you is extremely low. In addition, you mentioned that you are taking PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV prevention. PrEP is a highly effective method for reducing the risk of HIV transmission when taken consistently and correctly.

However, it is important to note that while PrEP provides protection against HIV, it does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is crucial to always use condoms to reduce the risk of contracting STIs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and hepatitis. Regular STI testing is also recommended to ensure early detection and treatment if needed.

In your situation, it seems like you have taken proactive steps to protect yourself from HIV transmission by being on PrEP. It is commendable that you are being proactive about your sexual health. However, I would like to emphasize the importance of using condoms consistently to prevent the spread of other STIs.

I also want to encourage you to have open and honest conversations with your sexual partners about sexual health and HIV status. Communication is key in maintaining a healthy and safe sexual relationship. It is important to discuss HIV status, testing history, and prevention strategies with your partners before engaging in sexual activities.

If you have any concerns or questions about HIV prevention, I recommend speaking with a healthcare provider or a sexual health counselor. They can provide you with accurate information and support to help you make informed decisions about your sexual health.

In conclusion, individuals with undetectable HIV viral loads are unable to transmit the virus to their sexual partners. Being on PrEP can further reduce the risk of HIV transmission. However, it is essential to use condoms consistently and get tested regularly for STIs to protect yourself and your partners. Remember that communication, prevention, and regular testing are essential components of maintaining a healthy and safe sexual life. Take care of yourself and prioritize your sexual health.
