Title: TEST RESULTS
Post by: jimenez50 on November 21, 2007, 07:31:08 pm

I JUST RECEIVED MY TEST RESULTS AND THE NEWS DID NOT SEEM TO GOOD.  MY TELL CELL COUNT WENT FROM 700 TO 535 AND MY % FROM 31% TO 21%. THE DOCTOR TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY AS I WAS STILL UNDECTABLE (I HAVE BEEN FOR TWO YEARS KNOW). SHE TOLD ME THAT IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH ME RECEIVING THE FLU SHOT OR IT WAS JUST A NORMAL FLUCTATION.  SHE LOOOKED ME IN THE FACE AND TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY. SHE TOLD ME THE NUMBERS ALWAYS GO UP AND DOWN.  ANY ADVICE

The numbers go up and down. The target of treatment is a continous undetectable viral load, so v good news.  A CD4 count of 500+ is within normal range.

Don't stress, those are normal "blips" that happen.  Numbers go up, numbers go down.   Nothing to worry about.

Not to worry! 

My numbers went from 470 to 390 and then up to 513.  My VL is also undetecatble!
