Hi
How long will I ned to take my treatment for me to reach undetectable viral load?
Answer
Hi there
The time it takes to become undetectable varies a lot between different people.
It depends on which treatment you use and how high your viral load was when you started treatment.
If you combination contains and integrase inhibitor, then most people become undetectable within one month. With other combinations, most people become undetectable within three months.
The higher your viral load when you start, the longer it can take.
For example, if your viral load start at over 1 million copies/mL and you are not using an integrase inhibitor, this might take six months or longer.
Hi Prima,
When someone has a viral load of less than 50 copies ml is means that their HIV is under control. You’re doing really well. It also means that if you were to have sex without a condom you can’t transmit HIV.
Hi
My viral load is -20 what does it mean?
