Strategies for HIV therapyApril 2008 View PDF En español How will I know if my treatment is working?One goal of HIV therapy is to reduce HIV levels below the limit of detection (<50 copies) with current viral load tests. However, not everyone can bring their levels to below 50 or even 5,000. For these people the minimum change that shows their therapies are active is a 1 log (90%) reduction. People with lower CD4+ counts and high viral loads may find that their HIV levels drop slowly over time, while people who are healthier are likely to see more immediate responses to therapy.
