About log drop???
Good morning all,
I have been seeing a lot about log drops, Etc. Could someone please explain this to me? I have no idea what it means.
Thanks,
The Beagle

OHHHHHHHHHHH! Thanks that helped alot. I was just a little confused I guess. I am so still learning alot. Well I will not know my drop in viral load until week 12. That is when doc said he would test. So, 2 more months.
I will sign off for now, or I will not get my walk in this morning. At the rate the wind in starting to blow, I may not have to walk it will just blow me around. Will check in later.

Good Sunday morn to everyone. Just wanted to drop in and say hi! It's a good PJ day today, expecting storms, fog is really bad here on the coast today, therefore makes for a good slug day! Did shot # 20/48 last night, crashed and burned early (9:15pm) and did not get up untill 8:am. Fixing to go take another nap before gotta go run errands for brother and get him some groceries.
Looking forward to Rocks Sunday prayer!
Wishing few sides to all......fisheress

There seems to be a bit of confusion on this. Hopefully this will help someone.
A log - short for logarithm - is like the oposite of an exponent, or 'power'. The log value we use to express viral load reduction is base 10 - since we use decimal numbers. 10 to the third power is 10X10X10 or 1,000 and applying a 2 log drop to 1,000 would be 1,000 (divided by 10)(divided by 10) = 10. The easy way to do the math is to drop one zero at a time.
Note that this is a non-linear scale, the first log drop represents a larger reduction than the second, and so on.
From <a href="http://www.gmhc.org/health/glossary3.html">here</a>:
Log (Logarithm): formally, the number of times ten must be multiplied with itself to equal a certain number. For example, log 5 is 100,000 (10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10). VIRAL LOAD is often reported in terms of log. In addition, logs are used to measure changes in viral load. For example, a reduction in viral load from 100,000 to 1,000 copies/ml is a 2.0 log (or 99 percent) reduction (100,000 divided by 100 [2.0 log or 10 x 10] equals 1,000). Note that while a one log reduction is a ten-fold difference, a half log change is not a five-fold difference, rather a change of 3.16-fold (the square root of ten) because 100.5 or 101⁄2 = 3.16.
Definitions:
Log Drop (noun)
1. Logarithmic reduction used in calculating viral reductions. Each log drop represents a ten-fold reduction in viral density or load.
2. In movement of the bowels, a segmentation of the eliminated fecal material. Each log drop is often followed by a reactive splash, generally centered on the sphinctal area.
Log Drop (verb)
1. A reduction in volume by one log. (See noun 1 & 2).
