Missing doses can lead to treatment failure and the development of drug-resistant strains of HIV. Choice B is incorrect as there are multiple licensed drugs that are effective in treating HIV. Choice D is also incorrect as antiretroviral drugs do not kill the virus but rather suppress its replication.
