Based on my lay-persons understanding of the treatment, your viral load did not go down enough, soon enough. It looks like you have been treating for 9 months and you have not yet gone UNDETECTABLE. This means the drugs are not working.
You should have cleared the virus at 12 weeks to be able to treat for 48 weeks. If not that, then you should have cleared by 24 weeks to go 72 weeks on the medication.
