Missing doses on a regular basis will lead to drug,resistance and treatment failure. But if you miss one dose accidentally, this is unlikely to cause any harm. Dont double up under any circumstances.

Skipping your Biktarvy medication for a couple of days can increase the risk of HIV developing resistance to the treatment, which may make it less effective. It's crucial to take your medication as prescribed every day. If you miss doses, take the next one as soon as you remember, but do not double up. Contact your doctor Show Full Answer
