My viral load was around 100K when I was diagnosed with full blown AIDS and a CD4 cell count of 34, but the highest viral load could be well over 1,000,000

I found this info  (copied and pasted below) on WebMD... not a government site, but i think it's reliable info in this case.

What the Results Mean

A high viral load is generally considered about 100,000 copies, but you could have 1 million or more. The virus is at work making copies of itself, and the disease may progress quickly.

A lower HIV viral load is below 10,000 copies. The virus probably isn't actively reproducing as fast, and damage to your immune system may be slowed, but this is not optimal.
