My CD4 was about 440, the lowest it has ever been.

My viral load was around 50,000 or so, I think. Viral loads were not standard of care until just before I started meds. They did not play a major part in the decision to start meds.

To my knowledge, they didn't have percentages back then. Of course, I really don't know what mine is now, either.  Never paid much attention to them.

My CD4s rebounded nicely and have been between 900 and 1,350 since four months after I started meds.

My viral load became undetectable in three or four months, has been undetectable for nearly 13 years now.

HUGS,

Mark

When I started my meds I was over VL100000 and CD4 was 68.
I am currently undetectable with that status about 3 mos after starting Atripla. My CD4s have been a little slow to rise with the highest at 160 and this last draw was 120.
