Response from Dr. Henry

You don't mention which HIV assay is being used but you likely are near the detection limits. Your response has been quite good-for some it takes awhile to decrease from a low level to undetectable. Some experts favor twice a day dosing for the nevirapine as possibly more effective than once a day dosing (discuss with your doctor). KH
