Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
I am sorry to hear how stressed you are feeling. It is great that your dr is managing this and is able to sort out access to your antivirals.<\/p>\n
How were you doing on treatment before you ran out e.g., was your viral load suppressed? and have you had problems with treatment in the past?<\/p>\n
In most cases, even taking longer breaks than these 2 weeks people do not have a problem restarting medication.<\/p>\n
After a week there is risk of a viral rebound so it is advised to use a condom and retest your viral load after restarting before relying on U=U again.<\/p>\n
Testing your viral load again soon after starting will also show you that your meds are still working and resistance isn’t a problem.<\/p>\n
I recognise that going a couple weeks without treatment can be scary, but you and your doctor are being proactive and even though resistance is a possibility, these are rare cases and you are currently doing everything correctly.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying not to freak out but due to insurance change and a mess up on getting refills I\u2019m going to be two weeks out with out of my med Odesfy. I just discovered my new insurance won\u2019t cover it. I\u2019m in communication with my dr. and I know he will find something else. I won\u2019t get into the whole story why I\u2019m over a week out. I\u2019m thinking it will be close to two weeks before I get some kind of antivirals. I know the risk. I\u2019m just hoping for someone to tell me it\u2019s fine and everything will get better once I\u2019m back on my meds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-access-to-treatment","category-adherence","category-all-topics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22751","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=22751"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22752,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22751\/revisions\/22752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
