Injectable ARTs are used by people living with HIV who may have trouble sticking to daily oral medications. Some members of the myHIVteam community have shared their experiences with injectable ARTs:

- One member stated, “I’m so very excited for the injectables tomorrow morning!”
- Another member shared, “I’m currently on a once-a-month injectable study. I love it,” although they did mention experiencing soreness at the injection site for up to two days.
