The virus is still there but not just detectable through that test procedure. NEVERTHELESS, IT CAN STILL BE TRANSMITTED.


MEANWHILE,Na lie, it can’t be transmitted at this stage

Most Nigerian girls are carriers of numerous STDs... Visit any lab of see wonders... From trying to know what they're carrying about and sharing to wanting to terminate pregnancies.
These are your:

Sisters
Girlfriends
Cousins etc
MOST OF THEM USUALLY CONTRACT THESE DISEASES FROM PROMISCUOUS MARRIED MEN.

I DON'T JUST UNDERSTAND WHY AN AVERAGE NIGERIAN GIRL HATES CONDOM AND CAN JUST LOOSELY SPREAD THEIR LEGS FOR PEOPLE THEY BARELY KNOW AND PEOPLE WHOM THEY KNOW ARE SLEEPING WITH VARIOUS OTHER GIRLS...

Does antibody testing test for antibodies to HIV or the HIV antigen itself?

What can reduce the viral load?

Why being so affirmative as to the outcome of the test coming out +ve instead of -ve?

Additionally, it doesn't mean she should stop her ART or start engaging in risky behaviors.

Some of these guys, once they see that their VL has dropped and the test trip can't really show positive, they go for testimony and stop taking their drugs. And before you know what's happening, the virus rise again in a manner that appears to be unbearable.

My brother HIV is not real

JUST AS ITS NAME IMPLIES, ANTIBODY TESTS SUCH AS UNIGOLD, DETERMINE ETC CHECK FOR PRESENCE OF HIV ANTIBODIES IN A PATIENT BLOOD SAMPLE

ANTIGEN TESTS SUCH AS P24 ANTIGEN, PCR CHECK FOR PRESENCE OF HIV VIRUS IN PATIENT BLOOD AND CELLS

noisy45:


Come UCH, Ibadan on excursion make I show you HIV AIDS patients.

Amayabor1:


You are contradicting yourself though. And your earlier response is not true.

You: IT MEANS HER VIRAL LOAD IS SO REDUCED THAT THE ANTIBODY TEST IS NOT ABLE TO DETECT THE VIRUS IN HER BLOOD SAMPLE.
HOWEVER IF SHE WAS TO DO AN ANTIGEN TEST OR PCR TEST, IT WILL CONFIRM HER HIV STATUS AS POSITIVE.

Me: Let me make a correction. Antibody test do not detect the virus in the blood. Antibody test detects antibodies that have been produced as a result of the virus.

Now my question; if the viral load is so reduced, how come a test that assay for the virus (the antigen) can still detect that the person has HIV? Is this not contradictory?

Let me break it down. The antigen test check for HIV antigens in the blood. Now, the person has a very low HIV load (little or no hiv antigen in the blood) and you are saying the HIV antigen test can detect the virus (when is very low in the blood).

Here is what happens (I stand to be corrected); HIV antibodies are almost always present in HIV patients (even if such patients have been on ART for a long time). This is because the immune cells will always "remember" that the body was exposed to HIV. So, if a patient has an undetectable viral load, doing a HIV antigen test will come out negative (because there is little or no antigen in the blood). For such patients, doing a hiv antibody test is the best because such patients will always test postive in a hiv antibody test because HIV antibodies are always present in HIV patients (no matter the duration they have been on ART).

HIV antigen test is superior to HIV antibody test in the area of diagnosis (if someone has been exposed to HIV, it can be quicker to detect using Hiv antigen test than a hiv antibody test because of the longer time the body takes to produce antibodies to HIV). However, in the area of detecting if a patient is still hiv + after years of being on ART, the Antibody test is superior to the antigen test
