POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi xYx.

Thank you for your email.

Like what Dr. Ditangco has once told me before, missing one dose, one time, is ok, however we don't know what it's effect in the long run. From that time on, I always advice all clients, and my readers to not miss their doses or be late in taking their meds. Like what she said, it may be ok now, but we don't know what it's real effect on our viral load later on. 

 Adherence is the key to success of HIV treatment. Just stick with it and you will be fine.

 I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
