Deskripsi
Bictegravir (BIC) is included in international guidelines as the first line of therapy for patients living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), either as initial therapy or as a replacement for patients with prior antiretroviral therapy (ART). Due to limited efficacy and safety data, BIC is currently not recommended during pregnancy. Data on the safety and efficacy of BIC during pregnancy were unavailable at the time of drug approval. In our case, BIC/TAF/FTC was effective in suppressing viral load (VL) in pregnancy, and there were no reported safety issues for the mother or the baby.
