Patient and clinic staff perspectives on the implementation of a long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy program in an urban safety-net health system

Long-acting injectable cabotegravir plus rilpivirine (LAI CAB/RPV) has several potential benefits over daily oral formulations for HIV treatment, including the potential to facilitate long-term adherence and reduce pill fatigue. We aimed to assess facilitators of and barriers to LAI CAB/RPV implementation and delivery through the perspectives of physicians and clinical staff, and the experiences of LAI CAB/RPV use among people living with HIV (PLWH) at a Ryan-White supported safety-net clinic in North Texas.
