Gilead Sciences v Heal the World Pharmacy

A complaint filed by Gilead Sciences in March 2025 asks for an injunction to stop Queens, New York-based Heal The World Pharmacy from selling its products because they are allegedly selling counterfeits. The filing says that a patient called Gilead in January because their bottle of Biktarvy—which comes to patients sealed—was short eight tablets.  Gilead investigators examined the bottle. It had an old lot number, a fake expiration date, and typographical errors that marked it as counterfeit.

Images from the counterfeit bottle shared in Gilead's complaint:
