Did my 6 monthly check, all become very routine with the results all ways being anticipated in advance. Waited for the paperwork, CD4 count 795 at 40%. All normal, checked the viral load, undetected for 6 1/2 years. Got a level of 27. Now even though I know that is absolutely nothing and still classed as undetected I was wandering around the hospital like Mr Bean.
Decided to speak to the Dr, she guessed the issue when I went in. Explained it was nothing, no further testing required until my next routine test. Even said that as of late many of her patients were getting blips and she actually thinks it is something they are doing in the laboratory.
It is strange though as when I read on here of others having blips and worrying I always think, nothing to worry about. When the shoe is on the other foot it is a different story.

That summed me up and also what my Dr did about it. ;D ;D

;D LOL.
27 isn't even a blip in my book, but I can understand the initial reaction and am glad to hear your Dr kept their calm.

Yeah, knowing something and living through it is different.
Now you have experienced it, and that experience might be useful when talking with others going through the same in the future.
How are you feeling/doing otherwise?
daveR:
Feeling good in general thanks for asking.
The only other issue was the creatinine levels still. 1.24 on a scale with a maximum of 1.18. The switch to Triumeq made no difference there. The Dr is not bothered by it as it is stable at that and I have no protein in the urine. All other numbers withing normal range, kidneys, cholesterol. No complaints.
And you are correct, talking about it and experiencing it are two different things.
