Answer
HI
Missing one dose will be fine.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

Hi Mathapelo, missing your regular medication time by a minute (even an hour) is not going to change how effective your treatment is. As long as you take the treatment within an hour of the regular time you use, your treatment will still work.
Hello, what if I forget to take my arvs 1min later
Hi Nomsa, missing one pill is not going to risk transmission for your baby. This will have no effect on yours or your baby’s health.
Hi I’m 5months pregnant I forgot to take luvigen pill for a day would my unborn child get affected?
Hi Thuli,
It’s common to forget to take ARVs from time to time. Missing one dose won’t be an issue for either you or your baby.
Hi I forgot one dose of my arv pills yesterday will that affect my baby she’s 5 months now
Hi Nosipho,
When someone has an undetectable viral load it’s OK to take meds a few hours either side of your normal time. Your viral load will be OK as this takes at least a week before it starts to rebound.
Hi i fell asleep,i took my avrs 35min late and I’m breastfeeding will my baby be infected also my viral load lower than detected limit please help
Hi Faith,
No it won’t affect your baby as there won’t have been any change in your viral load.
