Abstract
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an essential component in ending the HIV pandemic. Unfortunately, PrEP uptake has not been optimal to date. This is due to various reasons, one of which is adherence. Long-acting injectables may help to overcome this barrier. This brief review discusses the long-acting injectables currently in use for PrEP (cabotegravir) and HIV treatment (cabotegravir and lenacapavir), as well as those currently undergoing clinical trials. Other promising agents are being studied, including islatravir and broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, agents currently used for HIV treatment will likely be evaluated in preclinical and clinical studies for their use as PrEP agents.
