 You don't indicate what the units were for the first viral load test. In the second test, the results are expressed as international units (IU) and copies. In this case, copies are about twice as much as IU. So you need to look at the first test units and decide whether it was reported in both sets of units or just one and then make the conversion. | ||||||||
