Can a doctor give a person meds call gilead 4331 and sv 572 without telling them they have hiv virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost certainly not: Those are not drug names, but appear to be the codes stamped on pills or capsules to identify them. On google search, I see that gilead 4331 is tenofovir and sv 572 is dolutegravir. Both are used to treat HIV. Assuming the patient is mentally competent, it is extremely unlikely any doctor would prescribe them without telling the patient the reason for treatment, i.e. HIV.
