statistically the exact same numbers as your previous results...

Met, you didn't have a reduction. Sorry to burst your bubble, but  468 and 460 are essentially the same. You need to look at your CD4 percentage.

Ann, thank you.  Given my increases in the past, I was expecting the my cd count would be much more than that.  May be some figures in five hundreds.  Anyways it is okay.  But The nurse who called me to tell me my results told me that I don't have any percentage results.  This might be something I need to ask my hiv docor when I meet him after three monthes.

Met, the nurse may not have had your actual lab paper in front of her when she rang. The percentage is usually listed, but not always recorded in your notes. You'd have to see the actual sheet of results from the lab.

I don't know how they do it at your clinic, but at mine you have two different folders. One contains all the lab papers, the other contains my notes. The important lab values are recorded in the notes with a lot of detail left out. If one needs the details, the other folder containing the lab papers is always available.
