 Thanks for your follow up and thoughts. Viral load tests often report two things-- first, your's says that the viral load is not measurable, or below the lowest level of quantitation (or 48). Sometimes the labs will also report whether the virus was detectable, but at levels that they can't put a number on, or not. In the later case, you could kinda call this zero; importantly, this doesn't mean that the virus is gone from your body, only that medications have very successfully supressed HIV. Be well, BY | |||||||||
