Any person with Hiv who has been adhering to their antivirals and making healthy life choices. Generally if the CD4 count is <20 then this is the threshold for diagnosis. Undetectable people have virtually frozen the replication of the virus and can lead long healthy lives. In fact the CDC has stated that individuals with a low viral count will live just as long as their HIV-negative neighbors. With the progression of newer medication this will only improve the condition further.

So undetectable equals untransmittable means that if your HIV viral count is undetectable, then essentially you're not a risk to pass the infection to another.
