 Thanks for your post. The way that I'd look at your results is you have a normal CD4 count and CD4 percentage with an undetectable viral load. This means that your HIV treatment is working great. When you see shifts in your CD4 count in this situation, they very likely simply represent part of the normal variation in CD4s rather than anything negative. Best of health, BY | ||||||||
