| Response from Dr. Young
 Hello and thank you for your post. Your labs indicate that you have a quite low level of immune function, meeting an AIDS definition; you also have a relatively high viral load (usually defined as greater than 100,000). The changes in your values from the first to the second are within the typical variability of the tests and each set corroborate the earlier assessment. You and your health care providers should be moving towards initiation of antiretroviral treatments. I wish you well, BY | ||||||||
