CAB + RPV LA was not associated with significant weight gain, clinically relevant changes in body composition or adverse metabolic effects over 48 weeks. Virologic suppression was maintained, renal laboratory parameters improved in prior INSTI users and treatment was well tolerated with increasing satisfaction. These findings support CAB + RPV LA as a safe, effective and metabolically neutral alternative to daily oral ART.
