HIV drug B/F/TAF tested in pregnancy for safety and virus control
NCT ID NCT07666386
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the safety and effectiveness of the HIV medication B/F/TAF in pregnant women who have had their virus under control for at least six months. About 50 women in their first trimester will continue taking the drug through pregnancy and 12 weeks after birth. Researchers will track viral levels, side effects, and health outcomes for both mothers and babies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bictegravir/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide real-world evidence that B/F/TAF is a safe and effective option for pregnant women with HIV, helping to maintain viral suppression during pregnancy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. It does not test a new treatment, and there is always a risk of side effects or loss of viral control.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Women with aged 18 years or older and confirmed HIV infection. 2. Currently on B/F/TAF for 6 months preceding the screening visit. 3. Documented plasma HIV RNA\<50 copies/mL for 6 months preceding the screening visit and have HIV RNA\<50 copies/mL at the screening visit. 4.
