Once undetectable it should stay like this.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is possible that some people will have problems with their medication and their viral loads will rebound. When this happens its common that people will need to change treatment.<\/p>\n<p>As your viral load has been detectable for a long time, it is already likely that you might ve resistance to some of your meds.<\/p>\n<p>The recent viral load increase might mean the resistance is getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>In the UK, your treatment would have been changed earlier when your viral load did not become undetectable.<\/p>\n<p>Please talk to your doctor about this. They should be able to talk about options for your next treatment, and perhaps to do a resistance test.
