if a person had a undetectable viral load from taking HIV medications, would their HIV antibody test show up negative???? would their blood still produce antibodies?? how common is is for a positive person to test negative?
 
It doesn't happen. The viral load would be undetectable because their immune system was suppressing it. Part of this is the production of antibodies--although it is very hard for the immune system to make antibodies against HIV that are actually effective, other parts of the immune response are actually more effective in fighting HIV.
