GREAT Results on Hepatitis B Labwork
My lab results came back today on my hepatitis B Viral Load follow-up tests... and, it's gone down. Considerably. From 100,000 copies at four weeks ago to less than 20 copies. I couldn't be more thrilled about this development. This means I won't have to add Truvada...
