Question

Drop in viral load in treatment naïve HIV patients:

<5000 copies/mL by ___ weeks (logarithmic drop)

<500 copies/mL by ___ weeks

<50 copies/mL by ___ weeks

Answer 1

The drop in viral load in treatment-naïve HIV patients can be measured at 6 weeks, 6 weeks, and years, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The drop in viral load in treatment-naïve HIV patients can be measured at different time points:

1. By 6 weeks, there should be a logarithmic drop in viral load to <5000 copies/mL.
2. By 6 weeks, the viral load should further drop to <500 copies/mL.
3. Finally, by years, the viral load should reach <50 copies/mL.
