Bloodwork Results On Dovato

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Atlanta, GA

I usually have bloodwork every 6 months as I have been stable and undetectable on my medications for many years now. My last bloodwork showed a small uptick in my viral load - still undetectable but a small increase. My doctor said that it may be that the Dovato is no longer working as well as it should since it only contains 2 antivirals instead of 3 as all other HIV meds do. Has anyone else had this same experience while taking Dovato - and did you have to change meds?

I just had a blip 2 labs ago showing I was detectable but viral load still low. That day when I got my labs I was really sick, so sick I should have stayed home. But it was the only day I had available to get labs before my doctor appointment.

Sometimes blips happen. If you're not undetectable by next lab, they will change your meds.
