Long-acting agents for HIV infection: biological aspects, role in treatment and prevention, and patient's perspective.

TLDR
The aim of this review is to summarize the biological bases, the available information on completed and ongoing clinical trials and the potential development of long-acting regimens for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection.
Abstract
Current cART regimens are highly potent and well tolerated, but long-term toxicities, drug-drug interactions, lifetime costs and scarce option for multiclass failed patients could limit the efficacy of treatment itself. Long-acting formulations of antiretrovirals, which could potentially replace daily tablets, have been developed and are under investigation for prevention and treatment of HIV infection. Cabotegravir and rilpivirine represent the first drugs studied in this context. The aim of this review is to summarize the biological bases, the available information on completed and ongoing clinical trials and the potential development of long-acting regimens for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection.

Treatment and prevention of HIV infection with long-acting antiretrovirals

TL;DR: In the absence of eradicative therapy for individuals with HIV infection and protective vaccines for persons at risk, the advent of long-acting antiretrovirals will expand options for overcoming the challenge of suboptimal drug adherence and reduce the burden of HIV infection.

Long-Acting Injectable Antiretroviral Treatment Acceptability and Preferences: A Qualitative Study Among US Providers, Adults Living with HIV, and Parents of Youth Living with HIV

TL;DR: Potential users considered LAI-ART generally acceptable yet voiced possible concerns as well, especially if their current pill-based regimen was effective in achieving viral suppression, and parents' interest varied according to their child's age and sensitivity to injections.

Acceptability and preferences for long-acting antiretroviral formulations among people with HIV infection.

TL;DR: The study evaluates the acceptability and preferences for long-acting antiretroviral therapy (LA-ART) among a diverse cohort of people with HIV infection (PWH) and indicates a willingness to use new LA ART formulations.

Emerging reverse transcriptase inhibitors for HIV-1 infection.

TL;DR: GS-9131, MK-8591, Elsulfavirine and Doravirines are four new agents that are furthest along in development that show promise and potential to improve ART in the future.

Dolutegravir plus Abacavir–Lamivudine for the Treatment of HIV-1 Infection

TL;DR: Dolutegravir plus abacavir-lamivudine had a better safety profile and was more effective through 48 weeks than the regimen with efavirenz-tenofovir DF-emtricitabine, thus meeting the criterion for superiority.
