What did management say about Biktarvy growth impact of ACA subsidies removal?

Management’s message was that ACA subsidy removal created a near-term drag on HIV treatment demand/volume (including Biktarvy), visible in Q2, but they expected a normalization—with Biktarvy remaining a core growth driver supporting the raised full-year HIV guidance. 32
