I’ve been on meds for 3 months now, when will I become undetectable?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
Your viral load might already be undetectable already.
Depending on the meds in your combination and your viral load when starting treatment, some people become undetectable within one month. UK guidelines recommend that this should be within 3 months of starting treatment.
However, it can sometimes take longer if viral load is very high. This is why it helps to have your viral load tested before you start treatment and then a month or two aftewards.
