I would say as a clinical matter you were "undetectable" back in March. And these numbers are very typical, meaning once you go on medication your first numbers should show a dramatic drop, though not completely undetectable, and then the next lab draw (meaning March) the patient is undetectable. It only seems like it too until May because the the test are now more sensitive, but it has no bearing clinically particularly.

But congrats all the same ;)
