Just curious... for those of you who are off meds and with high viral counts, you are clearly still going to the doc to get tested otherwise you wouldn't know your numbers. Why are you even getting tested if you are not going to get treated? What is the point? And how does that conversation go with your doctor?

Also, my doc switched to the 'percentage' result this past year also, saying it was become more the standard practice and not just giving the CD4 count.

Current VL is 788,000 CD4 500, went off meds because it is effecting my ability to loose weight...Since I have been off meds, lost 40 pounds.

Highly toxic cock and ass, only take it raw. Don't plan on starting on meds again unless necessary. STD''s really ramp up my VL as well.

After 5 years, my VL is 14000, it came down from 15000, and my T cells are 850, pretty much what they were 6 months ago. I am not, never have been on meds. I consider myself very lucky, as I have known some people that got infected about the same time I was and they died already. I also have lost 3 friends while I have been here in Santiago.
