Scalability Metrics and Effort Requirements for a Long-Acting Injectable Antiretroviral Treatment Program

Abstract Implementation of a long-acting injectable antiretroviral treatment program requires substantial multidisciplinary effort, particularly for program coordination, coverage/billing, and patient support/retention. As our program scaled to 113 patients over 2.5 years, a total of 2.25 full-time equivalents were required. Despite operational demands, clinical outcomes were favorable, supporting real-world feasibility and scalability.
