Injectable prEP

Cabotegravir is a new medicine that is being tested to both prevent and treat HIV. It is similar to one that is already widely used in Brazil, dolutegravir. Surveys of treatment of people living with HIV / AIDS are giving optimistic results.

Recently, it was reported that cabotegravir injections along with rilpivirine are having very satisfactory results and that people respond well to injections. Regarding side effects, in the research to date with positives and negatives, cabotegravir has been safe and tolerable. One of the goals of research with PrEP Injectable is to assess side effects.
