Cabenuva is a revolutionary new HIV treatment. It has the potential to replace daily pills with a single injection either once a month or once every two months. This could vastly improve quality of life for many living with HIV-1. However, there are some serious potential side effects, including allergic reactions, liver problems, and severe emotional reactions, and its newness leaves many questions. Personally, I've been on daily pills for years and even the thought of getting an injection once a month seems like it could be a relief, but I'm worried. Injection site reactions, feeling tired and weak, even dizzy headaches — it’s a lot to consider. If you're on Cabenuva, how are you finding it?

I recently started using Cabenuva for my HIV treatment. It's a long-acting injectable medicine that combines cabotegravir and rilpivirine. The initial oral lead-in period was a bit tough, but the monthly injections have been a breeze so far. Has anyone else switched to Cabenuva? What's your experience been like? I'm curious about the side effects and how well it's working for others. Also, how do you handle the lead-in period? Any tips would be appreciated!
