Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND: The use of long acting injectable (LAA) antiretroviral drugs may be an alternative option for HIV treatment and prevention.

Our study focused on patient perspectives to understand which individuals, among people with HIV (PWH) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users, would constitute the preferential target for such treatments in terms of expectations, tolerability, adherence and quality of life.

METHODS: The study consisted in one self-administrated questionnaire.

Data collected included lifestyle issues, medical history, perceived benefits and inconveniences of LAA.

Groups were compared using Wilcoxon rank tests or Fisher’s exact test.

RESULTS: In 2018, 100 PWH and 100 PrEP users were enrolled.

Overall, 74% of PWH and 89% of PrEP users expressed interest for LAA with a significantly higher rate for PrEP users (p = 0.001).

No characteristics were associated with acceptance of LAA in both groups in term of demographics, lifestyle or comorbidities.

CONCLUSION: PWH and PrEP users expressed a high level of interest in LAA, since a large majority seems to be in favor of this new approach.

Further studies should be conducted to better characterize targeted individuals.
