This is one of the reasons they do blood work every 3 months, to make sure they stay on top of it. Usually if it does go back up it is an indication that either the dosage of medication needs to be changed or possibly even the type of medication. One reason it is important to take the medicine consistantly is so that you don't build up a resistancy to it, but most likely eventually a person will start to build resistancy either way. For some people they can stay years and years and years on the same meds. We are lucky these days though because there are now so many drugs available with almost endless combinations of things. <br /><br />I would assume that everyone is capable of lowering their levels to undetectable (or at least very close to that). I know of some children that had full blown AIDS when they were adopted that now have undetectable viral loads and very good CD4 counts.ukraine09https://www.blogger.com/profile/07631512261612266765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933979768865650829.post-49595665137781023342010-06-30T16:43:30.235-04:002010-06-30T16:43:30.235-04:00Thanks for taking the time to explain this stuff. ...Thanks for taking the time to explain this stuff. Tonight we will be talking about the questions asked, and now I have answers to provide! :)<br />I came up with another... once you have achieved non-detectable status, can that change from appointment to appointment? Is everyone capable of lowering their levels enough so that they are undetectable?Just Another Day In Paradisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08219999739244521563noreply@blogger.com
