 If your viral load was truly undetectable on meds, and now you are still taking your meds without missing doses and the viral load is 99,000, that probably means your virus has developed some resistance. The first order of business is to repeat the test. If the viral load is still elevated, you need to get a resistance test. If the resistance test shows resistance to some or all of the drugs your are taking, you will probably need to change medicines. | ||||||||
