In two weeks I go in for a lab check up to see if the med are being affective in reducing my virtual count and raised my C4. Hope that it has cause this will be hard to juggle with when I go back to work out of town. The med they placed me on is called Triumeq.

Triumeq is very effective. Just stay adherherent. Take it everyday around the same time and you will see improvement and likely quickly! It's hard at first to trust the little pill is doing anything, but trust the science, focus on relaxing and take care of yourself.

Why would it be difficult when you go back to work? Triumec can be taken any time of day, with or without food. Also, there are specialty pharmacies that can ship to you if you're out of town at the time of your refill. Plan ahead and you can eliminate difficulties before they happen. Good luck!

The reason I say that is cause it's not taking the meds, it's going to the doctor when I'm working out of town....Out of state

In the clinic where I work, you can go up to a year without a medical visit, as long as you're compliant with the meds and have been undetectable. I would talk to provider about your situation. Let them know in advance.

I'm on Triumeq also. It's a great dug, with very few side effects. It dropped my viral load to undetectable in less than 2 months. It's great to only have to take it once a day also. Just remember to take it daily and you be be fine. All the best 😊
