A retrospective review of patients unable to take medications by mouth showed short interruptions of therapy for most patients. In a secondary analysis, our data showed maintenance and/or achievement of viral suppression for most patients. A retrospective review of intensive care patients unable to take antiretrovirals by mouth showed 56.6% of patients experiencing a transient interruption in therapy. Additionally, our case series further supports previous literature on crushing dolutegravir and bictegravir regimens to maintain and achieve viral suppression.
