Is a viral load of 6.4 million high?
I have read and heard conflicting information regarding this - such as anything over 2 million is considered high - but when compared to people with 'double digit' viral loads - 6.4 is nothing to really worry about.

have you got a bx yet??my vl was 5.5 million more then a year ago...i would watch your diet and don't drink...your vl is high but not that high...a bx will tell you whats going on...billy
Some people report vl's as high as 25 or 75 million. There average is about 3 million. 6.4 million is a fair amount but not to much to kill off. In case you want to play with numbers, that 6.4 million is per milliliter of blood. You have about 5,400 milliliters of blood in you. What's the old expression... you have as many virons as Carter has liver pills.
