I’m out of my meds and can’t get them for two weeks, will I be ok?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
What treatment are you taking? and how long have you been on treatment?
After 2 weeks there is some risk that your viral load will rebound. Are you able to go access a health clinic/pharmacist and ask if you can get your treatment sooner?
In most cases, restarting treatment after a 2 week break will not be a problem. Treatment will continue to work and your viral load will be suppressed again soon after restarting. Would you be able to have a viral load test a few weeks after restarting?
Josh.
