New, more sensitive viral load testing has become available in NSW. For some people, they will see a change in their viral load readings from less than 20 copies, to a new number ranging between 20 and 200 copies. More sensitive testing means that NSW laboratories are able to detect small amounts of virus for people who have extremely low viral loads, this however should not be a cause for concern.
If you have a viral load of less than 200 copies/mL, you are still considered undetectable. A person with this level of viral suppression cannot transmit HIV to their partners. For more information, speak to your doctor.
