I’ve read that those of us on once daily ARVs might be a thing of the past in the very near future. Many studies are showing real promise that injectables are going to be the new gold standard treatment.we have cabanuva currently but from what I’m understanding soon there will be more injections options where one injection a month is all that’s needed.

I’m ok for now with taking a pill. I’ve taken a pill for blood pressure for years, so another pill each day doesn’t bother me. Also, my ID doctor is almost an hour drive. I wouldn’t want to have to take time off work every two months to get the shots. Also, I’ve checked and my insurance won’t cover the shots. Now if they ever come out with a shot that’s every 3-6 months, yes I would definitely do that.

Was on stribild and good results, doctor recommended I switch to Cabenuva 1 shot every other month. I will get my 4th shot next month and so far I’m impressed with it. Side effects are almost none so far.
