What will happen to me if my boyfriend is taking Acriptega and I don’t?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Are you HIV positive or negative?
If you are positive, why are you not wanting to take ARVs? If you are not taking treatment and have sex with your boyfriend, there is no risk of resistance for your boyfriend to this medication. Though your own HIV will not be treated.
If you are HIV negative and your boyfriend is taking Acriptega, this means that risk of transmission can be reduced and ultimately prevented. When viral load is suppressed by medication to below 200, HIV cannot be transmitted by sex. This is explained by U=U.

Hello Patrick and thanks for getting in touch.
How are you managing with the diagnosis?
The medication is really good for you so if you can start them, please do.
You will feel better and it’s the best way to ensure you remain healthy.
However, you will need to continue taking your meds. We have no cure for HIV yet.
Patric, things will get better. Take some time to adjust with your diagnosis.

Can I take this drug and get heal from HIV ? How long can I take this drug
Hi David, HIV meds start to work for you as soon as you start to take them. The first pill start to reduce your viral load and then after 1-3 months the viral load becomes undetectable. You need to wait until the viral load is undetectable though before ti protects your partner. Please wait until you get this result.

How long will Acriptega tablets take to start protecting you from HIV when you are taking it for the first time. Can I start to have unprotected sex with my partner immediately or do I have to wait?
Hi Masindi, the general answer is that this wont have any impact on your HIV and you will be fine. If they have drug resistance though their is a small chance that you might get the drug resistance too. Over time though this person would have much better health if they took HIV meds.
