my hiv1 rna viral load result says target not detected does this mean im undetectable and is it safe to proceed with piles surgery now
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
An undetectable viral load test result means the amount of HIV was so low that the test was unable to detect any HIV or could only find a tiny trace. This result might also be written as 'not detected' or 'target not detected'. There is zero risk of HIV transmission during sex

I have a perineal abscess and the pain is really bad near it, is there any way to treat it without surgery
A perineal abscess often requires drainage to relieve pain and prevent worsening infection. In some early or mild cases, antibiotics and warm sitz baths may help temporarily, but surgery (incision and drainage) is usually the definitive treatment. Please consult a doctor promptly to avoid complications.
