My bDNA result was <75!!!!
« on: February 08, 2007, 10:14:07 pm »
I'm so happy to finally write a positive thread here!  I had a branched-DNA Viral Load test done and it came back undetectable (<75).  I am so happy, relieved, etc, etc.  The timing is perfect, as my partner and I leave for San Diego tomorrow and then to Maui on Monday.  It was going to be a nice relaxing time and now it is going to be an even better time for me.
Of course, we will be repeating the test in 2 months -- and I'm going to ask my doc to split the sample and do each VL assay, just to see what they say.
So thanks for all your support and kind words -- it meant the world to me.

Mike

Hey Mike,

Fantastic results!  ;D

Now, go have yourself a fabulous time in Hawaii! Have a cocktail or go snorkeling  - then come back and gloat so those of us still living with snow can be green with envy!  ;)

HUGS,

Mark
