Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
Even though this is a big jump in your viral load, it might still be a blip.<\/p>\n
Have you had this result checked with a second test? This would be the first step in the UK.<\/p>\n
This is the only way to find out if this is a lab error. How long was the time between your result of 37 and this most recent test? If you could email me rought dates this would help.<\/p>\n
There are factors that can temporarily increase your viral load like other infections and vaccines. Though it would not be usual to have a rise this big in your viral load.<\/p>\n
Can I just check that by taking your medication religiously you mean every day and at the right time?<\/p>\n
If you never miss doses and that this result is not a lab error, you might need to change your meds. This will reduce the chance of developing more drug resistance.<\/p>\n
If you have been missing some doses, then being careful now might bring viral load down again. This include following food recommendations (if appropriate).<\/p>\n
