Open Forum Infect Dis. 2018 Oct 22;5(10):ofy247. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofy247. eCollection 2018 Oct.

Abstract

Study participants were asked about their interest in switching to novel drug delivery systems that reduce the dosing frequency of antiretroviral regimens. Across a diverse, treatment-experienced cohort, we describe greatest interest in switching to an oral regimen taken once weekly, followed by injections taken every other month and twice-annual implants.

Keywords: antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence; patient preferences; shared decision-making; treatment characteristics.
