Hi, I have been taking my meds well all years but this month I forgot my treatment at home. It will be 3 weeks now. I want to know if it will affect my treatment?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
It is great that you have been consistent with your medication for the last year.
When will you be able to restart your medication?
As this hasn’t happened before, the risk for resistance is low. The risk is more likely with more regular breaks.
This is why restarting your treatment is not likely a problem. Will you be able to have a viral load test a few weeks after restarting? This is important to make sure treatment is still working.
Josh.
