This Is For The People In The United States: New To HIV? Do You Know Your HIV Benefits?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

I have posted this quite awhile ago, but we have many, many, many, many new members since
Here are some of the benefits (but not all, AND depending on state or agency)
1) Housing help. There is a program called HOPWA. It will help cover some of your monthly rent or mortgage payments but not all of it. Amount varies by state or HIV agency.

Viral Load

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
New Brunswick, NJ

I’m so confused on what is considered undectable. First I hear 200 or under was considered undectable,then they came out with other sensitive tests that say under 50 is undectable. Now it’s under 20. What’s next another sensitive viral load test that measures under 10. So confusing. I’m at 40 am I considered undectable with a 657 cd 4 count? My doctor says I’m doing fine but that doesn’t answer the question any thoughts?
