it has nothing to do with sex and its does pass. Stress plays a HUGE factor in your numbers..to give you an example. I was going through a rough patch years ago and my Tcells dropped to 190...after a drastic move out of the city I am now at 370.....just to give you an example...hugs. Live your life without Fear...you will be just fine.

Yes it does happen..it can be a cold, or any number of things....but it shouldn't last...if your next blood work is still detectable ..have a heart to heart with him..but it should be back to undetectable by than...hugs...
