just got my numbers back
« on: August 16, 2006, 11:23:40 pm »
Hey I thought I would share my new numbers with you all.  My VL is undetectable, and my CD4s are up to 306 up from 220 in April.  I still don't know anyone else with HIV so I had to tell someone!

Love,

Sam in 'bama

NB. Any advice about HIV is given in addition to your own medical advice and not intended to replace it. You should never make clinical decisions based on what anyone says on the internet but rather check with your ID doctor first. Discussions from the internet are just that - Discussions. They may give you food for thought, but they should not direct you to do anything but fuel discussion.

Hi Sam, It is good to hear from you. Also, this is good news that your CD4's went up and you are undetectable!

Get plenty of rest, eat a healthy diet, and get some exercise too.

those are good numbers Sam.  From your first 3-month follow-up you've been undetectable and your t-cells shows good, healthy growth.  I bet your Dr is pleased too.

T-cells take their time.  But you'll see they make good, steady growth.  Already you jumped almost 40%, going from 220 to 306.  BRAVO!
