Late HIV therapy consumptions

I’m a late 20 worker diagnosed with HIV. On a particular day I will take the HIV meds at 22.00 every other day however I took it 2 hours late today. Is it okay for this once or the virus will create resistance against my medications?

Taking your antiretroviral (ARV) medication late by a few hours shouln’t affect the viral load much. However, it is important that you take your next day medication at your usual designated time which is at 22:00.

To inquire more regarding your medications, we greatly suggest that you refer this to a pharmacist or medical doctor.
