Question

I’ve missed taking my meds, will I be OK?

I’ve missed taking my meds for 4 days, will I now be detectable?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch,

Though you’ve missed taking your meds for 4 days, your viral load should still be undetectable. This is because it usually takes a week or so before it starts to rise.

Have you now restarted taking your medication? Do you think you may have issues with adherence in the future?

    Hi Isahrelaxxer,

    TLD doesn’t cause back pain, if you’re having back pain you’ll need to discuss this with your doctor.
