Hi all, Question?

[Boni58]

What is a 2 log drop? Like my VL pre-tx was 10,220,000 and I'm coming up on my 12 wk quantitative.

Boni58-

Bobby is spot on; a 1-log drop in your case would be expressed numerically as 1,022,000; a 2-log drop numerically as 102,200.

The term ”Log”  is actually short for “logarithm”. Any scientific calculator will have a log function available. Simply enter your numerical value and hit the “log” key to arrive at the logarithmic equivalent. You probably have a scientific calculator already installed on you PC; it’s just a matter of finding it :o).

Good luck on your upcoming viral assay, and let us know how you do.

Take care,

Bill

Thanks for answering so quick....................I always wondered

The way I understand it is you drop 2 Zero's. In other words 10,220,000 would be 102,200 for a 2 log drop.
