  • Title: Viral load--how low is best?
    Journal: TreatmentUpdate; 1998 Dec; 10(10):2-3. PubMed ID: 11366016.
    Abstract:
    Antiviral therapy aims to suppress HIV to undetectable levels, and technology to measure these levels is constantly improved. Chiron 3 and similar tests can now detect viral loads as low as 50 copies. Viral load tests have also been valuable in assessing the effectiveness of antiviral drugs. An alliance of mathematicians and doctors have been trying to estimate the level of viral suppression needed to minimize the development of resistance.
