This will be a multi-center, single arm observational cohort study with an assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and of clinical and virologic outcomes. Primary outcome • Evaluate patient perception of, and satisfaction with, long-acting injectable (LAI) cabotegravir/rilpivirine (CAB/RPV) for the treatment of HIV Secondary outcomes • Description of the demographic, HIV-, and non-HIV-related characteristics of participants included in this analysis

RECRUITINGEvaluate participant perception of, and satisfaction with, LAI CAB/RPV for the treatment of HIV
Participants will be asked to complete a 32-item paper questionnaire relating to their HIV treatment of LAI CAB/RPV. Questions will focus on how their daily life and quality of life has been affected by switching to LAI CAB/RPV. The questionnaire that will be used is not a standardized questionnaire but rather a questionnaire that was developped by the study team.
Time frame: Within the first 12 weeks of the study
Proportion of participants with virologic suppression at months 5 and 11 after initiation of LAI CAB/RPV
Time frame: Months 5 and 11
Proportion of participants that experience loss of virologic suppression by month 11
Time frame: Month 11
Description of HIV resistance-associated mutations that are present at the time of loss of virologic suppression
If a participant experiences loss of virologic suppression, then if an HIV resistance test was performed at that time, the resistance-associated mutations observed will be reported.
Time frame: Month 11
Proportion of participants with a viral blip at months 5 and 11
Time frame: Months 5 and 11
Change, from baseline, of CD4+ T-cell count and CD4+/CD8+ ratio at months 5 and 11
Time frame: Months 5 and 11
Proportion of participants that are adherent to treatment at months 5 and 11
LAI CAB/RPV must be taken every two months, which therefore requires that a target date be specified in advance of when the next treatment injection should be. This measure will evaluate the proportion of participants that presented to their clinic to receive their treatment either on the target date or within 7 days after (this will be considered adherent) and the proportion of participants that received their treatment more than 7 days after their target date (this will be considered non adherent)
Time frame: Months 5 and 11
Proportion of participants that discontinue their treatment over the study period
Time frame: Month 11
Incidence of discontinuation of treatment over the study period
This measure will be reported in person/years
Time frame: Month 11
Reasons for discontinuation of treatment over the study period
This measure will report all the reasons for which participants discontinued their treatment
Time frame: Month 11
Time to discontinuation of treatment over the study period
This measure will be reported by median time to discontinuation (months) and inter-quartile range
Time frame: Month 11
Proportion of participants that experience injection-site reactions (ISRs) and acceptability of ISRs
Time frame: Within the first 12 weeks of the study
Change in weight from baseline and a ≥10% weight gain from baseline at months 5 and 11
Time frame: Months 5 and 11
Proportion of participants that become hepatitis B virus (HBV) seropositive at months 5 and 11
Time frame: Months 5 and 11
