When Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD) presents its annual results on Monday, there will be a few eyes on the latest sales of Biktarvy (bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide), a drug that won US approval a year ago to treat HIV-1 infection in treatment-naïve adults.

European approval followed in the summer and Biktarvy quickly became the company’s lead growth driver.
