 Hello, One cannot conclude viral load results on the basis of CD4 counts. Period. So while it may be understandable that your nervous about the barebacking incident, there's no way, other than a viral load test, to know if your Atripla treatment is failing. Hope the test results are in your favor. Be well, BY | ||||||||
