Undetectable 🧐
So we all know that blood tests for hiv viral loads are becoming more sensitive that now they can’t measure under 20.next year they will probably come out with a blood test that can’t measure under 10. So in the grand scheme of things does it really make a difference if your under 200 which is the cdc criteria for undetectable or is under 20 the best case scenario.my viral load started at undetectable,then went to 40 then last test is 30.my ID doctor says those numbers of mine are insignificant… read more
Wow Brad I didn't realize your mom passed away. I'm so so sorry to hear about that my friend. Words could not express such sorrow. Please take your time 🙏❤️🙏
I used to live off the numbers when I was first diagnosed and when I went undetectable. Many years later…16 undetectable years I no longer worry about those numbers, I live for today for ME! Try and eat right…ok better, get ole ty of sleep, no long nights, well unless there a spooky series on Netflix. I have a positive attitude and keep drama and stress away. It’s worked well. I pray every morning and evening, I’m grateful for the little things in life, especially when you hit every green light going through Downtown. I don’t to the casino
Hi Brad, Just FYI, to be consider undetectable you must be in the range of 200 copies/ml. Everything below that it's acceptable, I have been undetectable for the Last 15 years, and fortunatelly alway under 50 copies/ml.
So if you are ranging between 20 and 40, means you have adherence to the treatment and can be relaxed about it, also Takei CD4 count into account those are the cells that Will keep you strong to fight any oportunist infections...
Take vitamins and anything that makes your inmune system strong, eat well. Sleep well and try to excercise, walking is a good start
Wish you the best....
I agree with under 200 as undetectable - I wouldn't chase numbers. Your overall health is more important.
Well Brad first understand that it's a numbers game. So if you have a cold an allergy an infection ..... your numbers are going to go up and down. Having said that you really don't have to worry about being undetectable unless it is really high like the viral load is in the thousands then you need to readdress the medication. Also if you're sexually active. It's better to have sex with someone when you're undetectable because you cannot pass it. Being detectable you must wear a condom. Aside from that it'll be fine my friend 🌈🌞👋
I Accepted My Fate, But It's Not A Big Deal Anymore. Now What?
