I ran out of Biktarvy when I got out of jail and I am going to try to get into a treatment plan but haven’t yet. I am I still undetectable. I was on it once a day for 6 months and now i’ve been without it for 6 days?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
Where are you? Have you tried going to a hospital for emergency treatment to cover you for the time that you are without treatment?
Do you know where/how you are planning on accessing a treatment plan?
Resistance is rare but after a week people often become detectable when there is a gap in treatment. When you restart Biktarvy it is still very likely to continue to work as normal but you will need a viral load test a few weeks after to confirm that your treatment is still working.
Josh.
