This article promotes patients should move from oral meds to long acting injections sooner. The reason was a better assurance of adherence to the regimen. There are a lot of reasons taking daily medications may prove difficult. These injections are currently ranging from monthly to every 2 months for most people. Soon, those dosage intervals could be a little as every 6 months. Gilead is even aiming for a year.
While I can see where this will be beneficial for a lot of people, there may be limits with their insurance. Add to that, the longer the interval, the larger the dose & deeper the injection. The annual shots are going to do more than just sting a little.
It's an interesting read & this is the current front runner for the future of HIV treatment & prevention. That's it for this cloudy morning, take care.
Cya...
