HIV can develop resistance to any med. This can be deterred by maintaining a regimen, giving the virus little chance of microevolution. This is important & the link provided above gives more info on resistance. Much can be found on Google as well.
Gilead has posted about resistance to lenacapavir. No medication is immune to resistance. This piece details more on that. This is an arms race between meds & HIV. Resistance to lenacapavir is rare & might be treated with the addition of another med to the dose to further disable the virus' ability to resist.
This is why medical research & new meds will always be needed. Even if HIV is someday cured, other viruses will remain. Medication & it's knowledge base must constantly evolve to keep up with current health issues.
Give these pieces a read & maintain your regimen. Take care.
Cya...
