Amida Care wants to help our members living with HIV to Live Your Life… Undetectable. For most people living with HIV, taking antiretroviral (ARV) medications exactly as prescribed by your Primary Care Provider (PCP) will bring down the amount of HIV in the blood to a very low level. This is sometimes called an “undetectable” viral load or “viral load suppression.” People living with HIV who reach an undetectable viral load live longer, are healthier, and are unable to transmit HIV sexually to other people.
