Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
If my partner is HIV undetectable, does that mean I am at risk of getting it?
Answered by Dr. Nopporn Apiwattanakul
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Apart from sexual contact, HIV can also be transmitted through needle injection. If your partner is truly HIV undetectable, the risk of transmission is very low. However, it is important to be aware of the incubation period of HIV and ensure proper testing. Please consult your doctor for a detailed blood check-up to confirm that the HIV test results are accurate and negative.
