 Thanks for your post. I wouldn't worry. If your viral load is undetectable, it's unlikely that you're experiencing treatment failure. There is no significant difference between a CD4 measurement of 398 and 382. It might be worth examining any trends in your CD4 percentage- this can often reveal changes not evident in the variable absolute CD4 count. BY | ||||||||
