Modelling Impact of Injectable Cabotegravir for PrEP on Drug Resistance
1 April 2022
An important consideration in the scale-up of injectable cabotegravir (CAB) for PrEP is the potential for development of Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor (INSTI) resistance. To help stakeholders understand this issue further, Professor Andrew Phillips from University College London shared the results of an exercise modelling the impact of the introduction of CAB for PrEP on INSTI resistance and AIDS-related mortality, as well as cost-effectiveness.
