@A myHIVteam Member & @A myHIVteam Member. Just for some perspective, I wandered around with a viral load of 1000 for over 2 decades without my doctor being concerned. Below 1000, you are not even infectious. What you don't want is up, up, and away... Good Luck with labs 🍀

From what I’m understanding on here and from people I talked to 20,40,50 really all three are considered undetectable below 20 is just the new standard cause the labs can detect that low with advances in lab blood processing tests

I wouldn't be concerned about it. Just keep an eye on it 40 is not bad. There are a lot of factor's. Maybe you're catching a cold the lab that they're using.
Your overall health, just listen to what your body's telling you the numbers are just numbers if it starts to rise rapidly. Then you're medications may not be working as best as they could.
But if you feel good, you're able to function. I don't worry about the numbers.
If you try to analyze it, you'll make yourself cuckoo. Go out there and live your life. Deal with things as they come otherwise don't worry about them. Everyone have a great day.
