Q92.  John is a 35-year-old male who has been living with HIV for the past 8 years. He has been on a consistent antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen for the past 18 months. Recently, his healthcare provider ordered a commercial HIV RNA assay to assess the viral load in his blood. The result shows that John has an undetectable viral load.
