viral load at 477

View More Posts Ignore
I just talked to my nurse and found out my viral load for the first time ever. (how exciting!)

The nurse said my baseline was 3 million then at week one it went down to 16,912 then week 2 showed 5,492 and now at week 4 it is at 477. So I think that is good...right? I'm a type 1a and the nurse said I had a 4 log drop.

Anyways...I'm thinking this is all good and I'm going to celebrate by having 2 rootbeer floats!!! LOL

Can you tell me if this is good ...
I KNOW UNDETECTABLE WOULD BE BEST BUT...SHOULD I BE THINKING THAT SO DESIRED RESULT IS SOON TO COME...or is that jumping the gun?

P.S. Thank you to all my friends here at DS who have been helping me through this and who have prayed for me to clear this ...keep on praying!!!I think it is working!!!!Thanks again.

Big Big Hugs,
Brave Rabbit

" That is wonderful. They are usually looking for at least a 2 log drop (or dropping two zeros) off your baseline. You are doing great. I was undetected at week 12. You are doing great. Your body is responding to the treatment. Let's keep on going toward the finish line. Hugs Peggy "
