Expanding Treatment Opportunities: Reviewing the Current State of Injectable Antiretrovirals for Treatment of HIV

Abstract Antiretroviral therapy has evolved significantly over the last 20–30 years, from requiring multiple tablets multiple times per day to single-tablet regimens and most recently, in 2021, long-acting injectable antiretrovirals. These long-acting antiretrovirals have expanded the treatment opti...

description Abstract Antiretroviral therapy has evolved significantly over the last 20–30 years, from requiring multiple tablets multiple times per day to single-tablet regimens and most recently, in 2021, long-acting injectable antiretrovirals. These long-acting antiretrovirals have expanded the treatment options for individuals with HIV who may have difficulty adhering to daily oral medications, difficulty taking oral medications, and/or individuals with multidrug-resistant HIV. This article reviews the currently available long-acting injectable antiretrovirals, including cabotegravir/rilpivirine, lenacapavir, and ibalizumab. The available data supporting these agents and current place in therapy will be discussed. Data supporting the use of additional long-acting injectable agents, broadly neutralizing antibodies, currently in the pipeline will be reviewed as well.
