Should I be worried if I have a viral blip?

Brett Grodeck (Author, The First Year - HIV) gives expert video advice on: Should I be worried if I have a viral blip?; Is it possible to be healthy again after having treatment failure? and more...

A viral blip is something to pay attention to. More than one viral blip is definitely something to worry about. But one time jump up in viral load doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Most times, if you become more adherent to your medication, sometimes the viral blip will just go away naturally. But if you find yourself on two consecutive visits to your doctor where you have a detectable viral load, that's the beginnings of treatment failure, and you should definitely talk to your doctor about changing medicine.
