Do HIV viral loads only ever rise when not on medications?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
There are several reasons why a persons viral load may rise.
- They aren’t on treatment;
- They don’t adhere to their medication;
- The treatment that they are taking is no longer working like it should do, so treatment failure. If this is the case then the ARV combination will need to be changed. Please see here:Â https://i-base.info/guides/changing
Hi Matthew,
It is very possible that you can experience the occasional dizziness 7 weeks after being on treatment. If this continues and you feel like your quality of life is being affected you may need to change your combination. Please see Q3 here: https://i-base.info/qa/what-are-the-most-asked-questions
