Not actual patients

  • REYATAZ, along with other antiretroviral medications, can help you treat HIV-1
  • When taken as part of combination therapy, REYATAZ can help reduce your viral load to undetectable*
  • REYATAZ may also help raise the number of T cells in your body that help fight off other infections

*Having an undetectable viral load means that your viral load is below what a lab test can detect. The value depends on the test being used. In REYATAZ clinical trials, undetectable was defined as a viral load of fewer than 400 copies/mL or 50 copies/mL depending on the trial.

Ask your HCP what the viral load cut-off for undetectable is for the test used for you.

REYATAZ does not cure HIV infection or AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). You must keep taking HIV medicines to control HIV infection and decrease HIV-related illnesses.
