Question 1

How much does Biktarvy cost per month without insurance in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Biktarvy's Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC/list price) is $4,216 per month as of January 1, 2026. Retail pharmacy cash prices can reach $7,797/month. With Gilead's copay card and commercial insurance, eligible patients may pay $0–$5/month.

Question 2

Is there a generic version of Biktarvy available in the USA?

Accepted Answer

No. As of early 2026, no FDA-approved generic Biktarvy exists in the United States. Generic versions are manufactured in India under Gilead's voluntary license but are not authorized for the U.S. market.

Question 3

How much does Biktarvy cost in India?

Accepted Answer

The generic equivalent of Biktarvy in India costs approximately $95–$160 USD for a 30-day supply — roughly 97% less than the U.S. list price.

Question 4

Is it legal to import Biktarvy from India for personal use?

Accepted Answer

Technically importing non-FDA-approved drugs is prohibited under the FDCA. However, the FDA's longstanding Personal Importation Policy means enforcement is generally not pursued against individuals importing up to a 90-day supply with a valid U.S. prescription for personal use to treat a serious condition. This is not a legal guarantee.

Question 5

What assistance programs can reduce Biktarvy cost?

Accepted Answer

Key programs include: Gilead Advancing Access copay card ($0/month for commercially insured patients), Gilead's Uninsured Patient Assistance Program (free drug), state ADAP programs, Ryan White clinics, and 340B-participating health centers.
