Comment

Ref #3467 : * Simultaneous administration with bictegravir, fasted.
† Simultaneous administration with bictegravir, fed.

Ref #3715 : In a study of 33 HIV-positive pregnant women receiving B/F/TAF, only one patient had bictegravir levels below the protein-adjusted 95% effective concentration. This patient took calcium and iron supplements during pregnancy. Despite everything, she had an undetectable viral load, like all the other patients, throughout the pregnancy.
