Several Days Missing Medication
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

As you guys mostly know, I went to Hawaii and I came back Monday. But Sadly Monday was the last time I actually took my medication biktarvy. So Tuesday and Wednesday I didn't take it. But I keep myself cover by take my b-12 pills and everything else. I just now got my meds refilled today.
The question is what will happen if I miss a couple days of my biktarvy? Will I be in danger? My last doctor visit I was still undetected, will that change even though I missed two days?

as I've answered before you cannot miss a regiment keep it back supply you need to take your meds the same time every day you need to eat right and exercise a little bit this is easiest Rikki Don't let it get you I care about you too much one love reach me 24 hours a day

Hi , I’ve missed. A few days in a row myself.. and went to detectable however later when I made sure I was taking my meds daily . I went back to undetectable you should be fine. Just remember if you do that often it could lead to drug resistance. I have not gotten to that point but I know someone who has.

The reason is that the only give me 30 days at a time. And also they can't give me extra because I'm on the SSA/mediCal insurance basically. If I order more early they will charge me a handful with a can't afford.

What I don't understand is why do you not have any extra meds on hand for such things as this? It is not just you, but I see a lot of American citizens say they miss doses because they ran out. I currently have 13 days of open meds and another 4 months of meds not opened yet and my pharmacy is going to be calling me today for my next refill. I will be happy to tell anybody who wants to know how I have stocked up on my prescriptions ------ and legally too.
