The viral load should remain undetectable for at least six months before depending on this approach as an effective HIV prevention strategy. A person must continue to have high adherence to treatment to maintain an undetectable viral load over time.

I've been getting really anxious about my HIV status and could really use some advice. Nine months ago, I had unprotected sex, and since then, I've been super vigilant about getting tested. I've taken the HIV 12 test every three months up to now, and each time it's come back NonReactive. Should I be worried or does this mean I'm in the clear?
