 Thanks for your post and comments. With a confirmed CD4 count below 350 and a very high viral load (>100,000), I am in strong agreement that you should start medications. I do not agree that you should stop medications once your viral load is undetectable. The whole point of getting your viral load undetectable is to have your CD4 counts increase. Hope this helps, BY | ||||||||
