Sub-Saharan Africa carries the highest burden of HIV-1 and AIDS. About 39% all new infections in world 2020 were this region. Oral PrEP was found to be very effective reducing risk transmission. However, its effectiveness is highly dependent on users adhering drugs. The availability long-acting injectable that eliminates need for a daily pill may increase uptake adherence people who struggle adhere oral PrEP. USA's FDA approved cabotegravir (CAB-LA) December 2021. In review, we discussed...
