Abstrakt: |
The availability of long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine injection combination requires some changes in service delivery of outpatient HIV clinics; it is therefore important for clinicians to know the potential number of people living with HIV (PLWH) who are interested in a long-acting antiretroviral treatment. We aimed to determine in an outpatient clinic the number of PLWH, on dolutegravir/rilpivirine, accepting a switch to an injectable long-acting antiretroviral treatment, and the reasons underlying this choice. In our single-center study, in this subset of HIV-infected patients, the main cause for refusal of a long-acting injectable regimen was the need for the administration to be done in hospital, as required in Italy, suggesting that current regulations about this aspect must be changed.
