So yes, I would agree with your doctor that its a blip. For more info about CD4 blips, please see here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/424\">https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/424<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With regards to when should you have your CD4 and viral load tested again, this all depends on where someone lives and if a problem is suspected. In the UK its common to have a CD4 test done once a year and viral load twice once undetectable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been undetectable for about 3 years, and I received my results yesterday. My VL was exactly at 20, and my CD4 was around 320. (previously 360, before that around 280).<br \/>\nMy doctor has told me to not worry, since this is more than likely a blip. Obviously easier said than done. He said I don&#8217;t need retesting until 3 months from now. Is that typical? Should I be getting a repeat VL now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-cd4-and-viral-load"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13077\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
