Take the total white cell count and the cd4 count and there you have it! if your total lympocite count is 2.000 and your cd4 count is 500, then your percentage is 25%. But usually labs do it the other way round.

Welcome to the club! I turned undetectable for the first time last October. I was infected in 1986 so it has been a rough ride for me.That Halloween day has been the Happiest Halloween ever! I partied all night. I just hope to stay that way until something new comes up because I'm resistant to everything else on the shelves. What would really make me happy is not only a cure for aids, but seeing all the members of this forum turning "undetectable" at least once during their lives! It feels very good. I'll enjoy this relief as long as I can, but I know one day things might change. Enjoy your health my friend. Congratulations.

I'd really be a "gay cat" if EVERYONE turned "undetectable"! MEOW.
