Question
Will missing two days meds increase risks to my partner?
11 April 2026. Related: Adherence, All topics, HIV transmission.
I have been on Biktarvy and maintained undetectable viral load for 5 years.
Recently I missed two doses. I then resumed taking my medication.
Two days after I resumed (so two doses after missing two), I had unprotected sex. I am extremely worried about whether my viral load could have risen enough to be infectious to my partner. Could this be possible?
Answer
Hi there
Please do not worry about this.
Your long history of being undetectable means that missing these doses will not affect your viral load.
Your viral load will still be undetectable.
Your partner will not have been at any risk.
