How will you know if your protease inhibitor is working?
Your doctor will schedule you for checkups to monitor your blood tests and see how well your treatment plan is working. Some of the tests might include a CD4+ (T cell) count and a test to measure the amount of HIV in your blood (viral load) so that your doctor can tell if the medication is working against the virus. You may also have tests to check how well your liver and kidneys are working, and other measures of your overall health.
