 Good question. I think that you should not tolerate replicating virus for more than about 6 months. If your DNA is not negative by month 6, then I would recommend ADDING entecavir to the adefovir, not substituting. Some people would just continue on the adefovir for a whole year before doing anything differently, and that would not necessarily be wrong. You can ask your MD for his or her opinion, but I dont like virus replicating on medication! Good luck! DTD | ||||||||
