   Response from Dr. Moyle

Your health status is more than just you CD4 and viral load so is something to discuss with your doctor. Based on what you say, you have a normal CD4 count and a low viral load so you are not in a range where treatment is currently indicated, your immune system has not been substantially damaged by HIV so should work pretty well normally and you low viral load suggests that things are unlikely to change rapidly. So your HIV markers look pretty good Best regards Dr Moyle
