This means both these CD4 results will only be approximate and the real results can vary from day to day.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, viral load blips are very common. If your viral load was undetectable before and you have been taking meds every day, this is more likely to be a blip than a viral rebound. It could also be a test error.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, the test would be run again on either the same blood sample or on a new sample.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was undetectable with CD4 of 550 cells\/mm3 and three months later my CD4 is 845.
