I'm still on treatment I have until 24 weeks, This VL wasn't in protocol I asked for it. I'm still determined to slay this dragon.

Sorry to read this, you have been so close. How long did they keep you off the Riba this last time? The good thing is it didn't cause a major spike.

Hang in there.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. You have my empathy.
What next??

Dammit I hate this disease.  I am so sorry that you are not yet UND. I just hate this stupid disease. What does your doctor say?

rocky -- was this your 24 week check? What happens now.  Each VL test has been better than the last one and that indicates you have responded, although still not UND.  Are you going to continue the 48 weeks?  I know that is what I would want to do, but this must be a tough decision.

I am so sorry.

What tough news.  You have an amazing attitude.  When this happened to me, I thought I would turn to salt.  It is a hard nut to crack.  Damn I am wordless.  I'm so sorry.  Yes there are new drugs coming all the time.  Yes this is just a set back.  But Wow - a hell of a set back.  I commiserate with you.  Someone who cares.  Libzo

Sorry to hear the results. I am hoping you will be UND next VL draw. Best to you.

[beeblessed]

Sorry to hear.  I sympathize with you greatly, especially being a repeat treater.  What week are you on again??  Is this a better result than years past??  If so, it is still impressive (I have come to understand) to get your VL down that low.  Wishing you the very best.
