Hi there<\/p>\n
Thanks – for send you Q and allowing us to answer online.<\/p>\n
My first concern is about your health and why you decided to stop ART?<\/p>\n
Treatment is so important for you, especially if you were doing well and had an undetectable viral load.<\/p>\n
Was this related to side effects or getting access to treatment? Or something else?<\/p>\n
Are you able to contact your doctor or clinic to talk about this? They will really want to hear from you so they can help.<\/p>\n
The second issues is also really important.<\/p>\n
If you are not using condoms with your partner and if your partner is not using PrEP, there is a very high risk that your partner could become HIV positive.<\/p>\n
Your viral load is still likely to stay undetectable for the first few weeks after stopping ART, but it is likely to be rebounding now. After 3-4 weeks your viral load is at risk of becoming very high, and not just rebounding a little.<\/p>\n
Until you are able to restart treatment again, there is a high risk of transmitting HIV to your partner.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
