Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n

It is great to hear how well you are doing on treatment.<\/p>\n

A viral load of 70 is excellent. This is considered undetectable and means U=U<\/a> does apply. There is no risk of transmission to your partner. Even without using a condom it is not possible to pass on HIV.<\/p>\n

Switching from TLE to TLD will not risk your viral load becoming detectable. As your viral load had already been suppressed, switching will not risk HIV no longer being suppressed.<\/p>\n

TLD<\/a> and TLE use the same drugs except for one using efavirenz and the other dolutegravir. This difference will not risk a viral rebound when changing between them.<\/p>\n

Hello, I am from the Philippines. I have recently started dating again after receiving my first undetected VL result last June 2023 (70 copies – we use the less than 200 guideline here). My CD4 is 190+, with the trend going up from the first three CD4 tests. I’m starting to see someone, and we had sex already (with condoms). Is there still a risk of transmission? I have been adherent with my ARVs ever since I was diagnosed last June 2022.<\/p>\n

My ARVs are Teno-Lami-Dolu (TLD) and was switched up to Teno-Lami-Efav (TLE) last June as well due to supply issues with the clinic. Is there a possible time window that I might have had a detectable viral load during the switch?<\/p>\n

During intercourse, I bled as I was on the receptive end, but there were no issues with the condom. Is there a presentable risk in such a situation? We also participated in deep kissing, where I might have bled once or twice.<\/p>\n

Lots of support, all the love from the PLHIVs here in the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,9,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-cd4-and-viral-load","category-hiv-transmission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22295"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22296,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22295\/revisions\/22296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
