Abstract:
Long-acting injectable therapies have been added to the pharmacological arsenal available for the management of HIV infection, whether in the form of monotherapy (injectable cabotegravir) as part of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or dual therapies (injectable cabotegravir/rilpivirine) for the treatment of HIV. These treatments are the subject of new international recommendations following the publication of pivotal trials, the results of which will be presented in this review. We will also discuss the practical modalities of their implementation as well as the challenges to be faced in the future.
