United States slow on the research as usual, and giving out old news to make us think this is something new and it isn't.

The FDA has approved Cabenuva, the first injectable treatment for HIV. Cabenuva is a combination of cabotegravir and rilpivirine, both extended-release injectable medications. It is designed to be administered once per month as an injection into the muscle of the buttocks, with the potential to extend the regimen to every eight weeks in the future. This injectable treatment is intended to replace the current ART regimen of daily pills for people with well-controlled HIV.
