I was diagnosed just over a year ago (thanks to all of you that answered all my questions when I was so scared and honestly shellshocked). I have an appointment next week and I'm wondering what my viral load should be? I've been on treatment for over a year now so should I be undetectable by now? Or just low?

Hi @fairy_‍, thank you for opening this discussion! Let me tag some other members who can possibly share some insights with you!

Hi everyone,  do you know what level of viral load @fairy_‍  should be looking to have or should see after a year of treatment? What does viral load mean exactly?

Hello @fairy_ ,

I want to say it is good for that you are concerned about your CD4s and their counts.

This letter may be getting to late but, it is wise that you keep up on them, follow them & respond to them when ever you have a question. Don't forget that any time they will or may change due to what else is going on with you. Ex. your tired or sick or have an injury. You get the point?

Keith
