Take Control of Your HIV Treatment Journey
If you’re taking Efavirenz for HIV treatment and experiencing unexpected side effects or inconsistent results, you’re not alone. Many South Africans have genetic variations that affect how their bodies process this vital medication. Our CYP2B6 Gene Efavirenz Poor Metabolism Test provides the answers you need for safer, more effective treatment.
Understanding Your Genetic Response to HIV Medication
The CYP2B6 gene plays a crucial role in how your body metabolises Efavirenz, a cornerstone of HIV treatment in South Africa. When this gene doesn’t function optimally, it can lead to either poor metabolism (causing medication buildup and side effects) or rapid metabolism (reducing treatment effectiveness). Our advanced NGS technology precisely identifies your genetic profile, giving you and your doctor the information needed for personalised dosing.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
- Patients experiencing severe dizziness, insomnia, or mood changes while taking Efavirenz
- Individuals with inconsistent viral load results despite medication adherence
- Patients starting new HIV treatment regimens
- Those with family members who experienced similar medication reactions
- Anyone seeking personalised HIV treatment approaches
Why Genetic Testing Matters for Your HIV Care
Knowing your CYP2B6 status transforms your treatment experience. Instead of months of trial-and-error dosing adjustments, you receive evidence-based guidance from day one. This means fewer side effects, better treatment adherence, improved quality of life, and reduced risk of developing drug resistance. For many South Africans, this test has been the key to finding the right treatment balance.
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will clearly indicate whether you have normal, poor, or rapid metabolism of Efavirenz. Our comprehensive report includes easy-to-understand explanations and specific dosing recommendations for your healthcare provider. You’ll also receive genetic counselling to help interpret the results in the context of your overall health and family history. Remember: genetic variations are common and manageable with the right information.
