Both reasons you suggest could be the cause. the first thing to do is repeat the viral load. If it is undetectable, then it was likely the infection or vaccination. If it is still elevated then resistance is likely, and I would suggest getting a resistance test to determine which of the drugs in atripla your virus may have become resistant to. There are many options for treatment if resistance is confirmed, and no this won't cut your life expectancy.
