| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 Your viral load results are reported in two ways. The actual number is 1120 copies/ml of blood plasma. Another way to express the same number is to report the number as the base 10 log copy/ml. So the number 10 is 1 log, 100 is 2 logs, 1,000 is 3 logs and so on. You will see viral load reported both ways on websites and clinical trial reports. | ||||||||
