How Common Is Transmitted Resistance In HIV-1 Treatment.
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I'm newly diagnosed. Started biktarvi a little over 3wks ago. My first blood test results said my viral load was 5800 & CD4 was 1200 something. I'm just worried & wondered how common it was for someone to pass a drug resistant strain of HIV-1 to another person.

Don't worry. I think they run resistance test before they give it to you. We all worry about "what if the meds don't work". I've read about at least one multi- drug resistant case. I think it was in France. It was in Poz magazine.

As long as you're undetectable you can't transmit. I'd wait till that viral load goes down to undetectable before having unprotected sex.🙂

Probably easy. Is the neg person on prep?
