Real World Clinical Outcomes in Cisgender Female Patients Who Start on Long Acting Cabotegravir for PrEP: An Observational, Multisite Prospective 2 Year Study in the Southern U.S.

Oral PrEP regimens (FTC/TDF have been the mainstay of HIV prevention however patients now have more options for HIV prevention. In addition to oral PrEP regimens, the FDA approved the use of long acting Cabotegravir (CAB-LA) as the first long-acting medication for HIV prevention.
