I have a friend who started treatment three months ago and had a Viral Load of 15,000. One month ago he was tested again and it was 40,000.
Every infected person has their own level, or setpoint, before starting treatment.
The viral load should go down acutely after starting treatment. If after 2 months of treatment the viral load has gone up, then that indicates either pre-existing resistance to the drugs, or the person is not taking the drugs.
