keeping you posted (10th and 11th labs)
Mar 1, 2009

I've posted my previous nine lab results and thought I'd keep you in the loop (you responded to my last post on November 16, 2008).

(1) February 2006 (six months after infection): CD4 757, 38%; VL 70 copies.

(2) July 2006: CD4 917, 40%; VL 53 copies.

(3) December 2006: CD4 515, 38%; VL 500 copies.

(4) May 2007: CD4 725, 38%; VL 60 copies. CD8 499, 29%; ratio 1.4.

(5) September 2007: CD4 834, 36%; VL 70 copies. CD8 649, 28%; ratio, 1.3.

(6) January 2008: CD4 589, 35%; VL 50 copies. CD8 496; ratio 1.2.

(7) May 2008: CD4 1,087, 42%; VL 200 copies. CD8 863, 33%; ratio 1.3.

(8) August 2008: CD4 638, 35%; VL 100 copies. CD8 532, 29%; ratio 1.2.

(9) November 2008: CD4 683, 38%; VL 294 copies. CD8 629, 35%; ratio 1.1.

(10) November 2008: CD4 619, 40%; VL 174 copies. CD8 495, 32%; ratio 1.3.

(11) February 2009: CD4 854, 42%; VL <48 (undetectable). CD8 641, 32%; ratio 1.3.

36-year-old man, infected for 42 months now. (Note: there were two sets of labs for Nov. '08 because I switched doctors; but the lab and testing technology was the same.) I don't really have any questions this time, but I'd welcome any comments!

Thanks as always.

Response from Dr. Holodniy

You're looking good. Thanks for the update!!
