HIV prevention trials network launches HPTN 083

(FHI360) The HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) has launched a new study, HPTN 083, to evaluate whether injectable cabotegravir (CAB) can safely protect men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) who have sex with men from acquiring HIV as well as daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC). If found to be safe and effective for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, also known as PrEP, injectable CAB may be easier for some people to adhere to than daily oral TDF/FTC.
