Hi @A myHIVteam Member, Im Arnold John 🍀
As per my last post thanks for all the great responses. I feel so much better I’m in the green zone. However lots of questions on what truly is undectable. So many different opinions even from doctors. We know the tests are getting more sensitive on viral load and soon I’m assuming that under 10 will be the new normal than the current under 20. With that being said does a 200 viral load considered to be worse then 100? Does under 20 mean better then 40? And So on and so on.or it’s all relative… read more

Only Men not ladies, LOL. That is hilarious, I understand, LOL!
This afternoon I got my final blood test results and a couple of tests that I saw had me concerned and those two are Nuclear Antibody and Nuclear Antibody Titer. The first one came back positive when it should be negative and the second test came back high. The question I’m asking is what do those two test’s mean and should I be concerned?
True
I’ve been reading a lot about the correlation between cd4 and cd8 ratio as an indicator of disease. Right now I have a low cd4 cd8 ratio. Some doctors don’t seem to care about the ratio while others say it can determine inflammation and possible other disease manifestations .my ratio might be low due to the fact my blood work was done before I became undectable. In December I get my next blood test I’m hoping to see an improvement on the cd4 cd8 ratio now that I’m on biktarvy and have an… read more
