POR AMOR DE DIOS RESPONDAME
Nov 7, 2007
Doctor: Me hice unos examenes por chequeo general: Elisa negativo y PCR <50 copies y <1.70 LOG copies, (realizado en un amplicor HIV-1 Test Version 1.5 de Roche) El examen dice que los rangos de referencia son los mismos, es decir: <50 y <1.70 log copies. La preocupacion es que mis CD4 son 169 y mi internista dice NO saber a que se debe. Mi unico riesgo habria sido una cita odontologica hace seis meses, pero de resto NO he tenido contactos de riesgo. Mi medico dice que soy VIH negativo pero me he preocupado al ver que en el foro a algunas personas que son VIH positivas y el valor les ha dado <40copias o <1.69 log copias. Que significa esto ? Significa positividad ?

Respuesta del Dr. Natterstad
Hola,
Tu médico tiene razón: eres VIH negativo. Sin embargo, tu recuento de CD4 de 169 no es normal y señala una inmunodeficiencia, pero no una causada por el VIH. Debes consultar a un médico especialista en las enfermedades del sistema inmunológico, es decir un inmunólogo. Él o ella podrá ayudarte a determinar qué esto significa. "¿Significa positividad? ¡No!
Mucha suerte y un abrazo fuerte.
Dr. Steve
