Our numbers fluctuate. Perhaps you're thinking about your quality of life going forward?
I saw my infectious disease doctor this morning. She said she wasn't concerned about the low level since my percentage was still strong and I'm still U=U. She said stress can definitely cause that to happen though. She said it was smart for me to resign from the job that was just stressing me. And they're going to help me with meds and doctor's visits until I get myself back into a job with insurance.
No worry because cd4 counts will vary from time to time depending on stress and general health and alcohol consumption.
I once had labs come back that were low enuf to cause my id pcp huge concern but the blood samples were at that time sent out for analyzing so another set of labs was taken and sent to a local lab and fhe results came back as normal which was a huge relief to us both so just watch your diet get exercise and try to maintain a happiness 😊
