FDA approved once a month injections instead of daily HIV pill.

Do you just take the  injection once a month without any other pill combination? I would love this, I hate taking pills.

          ojo.          Well, I guess it is a good option for those who don’t one to take ONE pill a day, what a sacrifice!!!, but, for me that I have to take eight pills twice a day it would be a great option but, guess what?, lucky me, it is not a good option for me due to my resistance’s history, according to my doctor, so, I will have to keep getting up early, have breakfast and take my first four pills of the day, then, do the same 12 hours later, what a pain in the butt, but after 26 years of doing this I guess, I am used to it...

It's definitely a good thing,although it's probably expensive for the other non-western countries that struggle with people taking daily meds. It would definitely solve their problem of control of the virus which unfortunately, in some parts of the world, is a big problem.

This is not available where I live (and I think not any time soon) and even if it was it'd be probably very expensive but it would be good to only have 2 injections a month (I read it actually consists of 2 injections).

Anyways, if it was widely available at a sustainable price I think this could be a game changer, especially in those cases where adherence is an issue or people have problems taking pills.

Nice to see things continue to move forward. Adelante!

Very interesting and a great extra option for people.

I’m hoping they can perfect long acting meds so it can be one shot every 6 months,
Get it to that level and I’m in!  ;D
