In 1985, the development of an antibody test for HIV established a dichotomy in the

fields of health, sexuality, and politics: the categories of “positive” and “negative.”

Ten years later, the advent of combination antiretroviral treatments enabled

a reduction of a body’s viral load to levels that elude conventional testing,

thus inaugurating a third form of status and a new concept in biopolitics:

“undetectable.” Signifying a presence that is absent, predicated on suppression

and surveillance, the undetectable occupies an indeterminate space and produces

new modes of connectivity, at once increasing the capacity of a body and subjecting

it to a relentless regime of control.  >DOWNLOAD PUBLICATION<
