I lost so many friends and coworkers during the 80’s and now that I Poz it’s amazing the drugs that have developed to stop the virus from destroying your immune system. I was diagnosed May 12 and got on Biktarvy.  In 7 weeks I have gone from 6.8 million viral load to 113. Almost undetectable

So undetectable means <20 now? Feels like just yesterday it was <50. Hooray for science

Here in the US Quest Diagnostics has a cut off of <20, LabCorp uses <40. Those are the big testing companies. My ED Dr. says that there are tests that can detect down to 1, but they are not in common use and anything less then 200 is "acceptable"

Ah ok, that's interesting. One would certainly feel a bit silly saying they weren't undetectable because they had 1 copy per millilitre of blood.
