| Response from Dr. Young
 Hello George and thanks for your post. I would think that your meds are indeed working- a viral load of 100 isn't too concerning at this point. I can certainly understand the emotion of wanting to see this undetectable, but this level is so low, that very insiginficant things can result in detectability- such as a cold, herpes flair or vaccination. Nevertheless, I'd view your CD4 counts as modestly increasing; your percentage has gone from 18 to 25%- a good rise indeed. So, stay with the adherence George- I'd expect your VL to reach that undetectable level soon. Be well, BY | |||||||||
