Help me make sense of these results if you can - low viral load
10/23/12 05:24 PM

Hi, I tested positive on 18th september. Massive shock all round and then the usual route of worry, stress and then acceptance. Great support from my friends and partner which has helped a great deal.

My doctor thinks my infection was in the last 3 or 4 months but I think it could be earlier as I've had no potential exposure in that time (aside from oral). My CD4 count has been 674 and 627 but what's confused me is my viral load of 47 and 43. Why is it so low and will it continue to remain so. Is this my 'set point'? Is it possible I've not gone through my seroconversion yet and it is about to sky rocket?
