Hi, how are you doing?<\/p>\n
It is great to hear that you have been able to restart your medication. Have you been told what your viral load is?<\/p>\n
As your CD4 count is still quite low. Have you been given any other medication as your CD4 count recovers? Usually this is an antibiotic called co-trimoxazole. This is used to prevent other infections as your immune system recovers.<\/p>\n
Are you on the same treatment as you were before? In most cases restarting treatment will work as well as before the break. You can confirm this with a viral load test. In most cases people will become undetectable within 3 months (usually 1).<\/p>\n
CD4 recovery is a slower process. Unlike viral load which responds immediately to treatment. CD4 count can take a few years to recover but it will go up when adhering to treatment. What was your CD4 count to start?<\/p>\n
