Because of covid I was discharged with out tests post treatment I was last seen in dec and finished treatment end of jab with no follow up

Hi Callumlee123 - I noticed in another post, you mentioned you were RIF resistance. How did treatment go for you? What medication did you end up taking and for how long? Thanks! I am RIF resistance also.
