Description
In this episode, an international expert panel shares their thoughts on key considerations for incorporating long-acting cabotegravir as an additional HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis option for appropriate individuals at high risk of acquiring HIV infection.Topics include anticipated patient interest in this new paradigm, the role of the oral lead-in phase, new guideline recommendations for monitoring during PrEP, patient care and follow-up after PrEP discontinuation, and remaining unanswered questions.Other episodes in this 4-part series cover additional aspects of long-acting antiretrovirals for HIV treatment and prevention, including key steps for switching patients to long-acting injectable cabotegravir plus rilpivirine for HIV treatment, such as selecting the most appropriate patients, introducing patients to the long-acting option, and preparing patients for what to expect from long-acting treatment in terms of efficacy, visit timing, and the injection experience; key considerations at the operational level for incorporating long-acting injectable ART into the HIV treatment armamentarium; and what is still needed in long-acting HIV care to further address patient needs and inequities across subgroups.Presenters:Babafemi Taiwo, MBBSGene Stollerman Professor of MedicineChief, Division of Infectious DiseasesNorthwestern University Feinberg School of MedicineChicago, IllinoisYvonne Gilleece, MB BCh, BAOHonorary Clinical Professor in HIV Medicine and Sexual HealthDepartment of Global Health & HIVBrighton & Sussex Medical SchoolConsultant in HIV Medicine and Sexual HealthHIV DepartmentUniversity Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation TrustBrighton, United Kingdom Cristina Mussini, MDHead of Department of Infectious Diseases and Tropical MedicineFull Professor of Infectious DiseasesInfectious Diseases Clinics, University HospitalUniversity of Modena and Reggio EmiliaModena, ItalyDarrell H.
