Because the medication does NOT get to the HIV that hides. Not all of the HIV is happily traveling through your blood. There are pockets in your body that it can hide in and replicate that medication can't touch.

@A myHIVteam Member It does not stop it entirely. That is true, but it does help stop a lot of other things that can happen.
