IMplementation of CAB+RPV LA for People With HIV in Non-Metropolitan Areas: Addressing Adherence Barriers Through Learning and Evidence-Informed Strategies (IM-CAPABLE)
The goal of this implementation science study is to learn about the experience of receiving and providing cabotegravir + rilpivirine long-acting (CAB+RPV LA) injections as treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) for people who live a significant distance from an HIV provider. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is CAB+RPV LA feasible and acceptable to patients and staff? * What barriers and supports exist and have the most impact on receiving and providing CAB+RPV LA? * How does CAB+RPV LA affect HIV stigma, treatment satisfaction, medication adherence and viral suppression? People living with HIV who reside outside of the Omaha, Nebraska metro area and are starting CAB+RPV LA as part of regular medical care for HIV will be invited to participate in this study which involves completing questionnaires and an interview over 15 months. Clinic staff who are involved in providing HIV care and CAB+RPV LA will also provide input through questionnaires and an interview.
