Question
How long until my viral load is undetectable?
26 April 2024. Related: All topics, CD4 and viral load, Newly diagnosed.
Hello!
I’ve been HIV positive since February 2024, but most likely I got it around October or November 2023.
I’ve been through a lot and now I am mentally stable.
I started the treatment (Delstrigo) for about two months now. My question is how long until I get my viral load to undetectable?
When I started the treatment, I had terrible nightmares, so I had to switch it from night time to 10 am but that was after 2 days of starting the treatment.
Thank you.
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
It is great to hear that you are now doing better.
After switching the time of your medication have you been sleeping better?
After starting treatment most people will have an undetectable viral load within 3 months (usually this can happen as soon as the first month).
As you have now been on Delstrigo for 2 months it’s likely that you are already undetectable. After another month you can test and confirm this.
Have you been told what your CD4 count was?
Josh.
