SEARCH CAB LA Dynamic Choice HIV Prevention Study Extension

CAB-LA will be one of the options for the Dynamic Choice Delivery intervention arm. CAB-LA will be a choice for at-risk adults and adolescents weighing at least 35 kg for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV-1 infection. Single-dose vial containing 600 mg/3 mL (200 mg/mL) of cabotegravir is a white to light pink, free-flowing, extended-release injectable suspension. CAB-LA administration will occur at health facilities.

The Dynamic Choice Delivery Model includes integrated PrEP (including CAB-LA) and PEP services at outpatient clinics, antenatal clinics, and via VHT workers in community households. The procedures for each trial include PrEP/PEP counseling and services, choice of service location, HIV testing options, option for longer PrEP refills, provision of a clinical officer's or nurse's mobile telephone number for immediate PEP starts any day of the week, assessment of PrEP/PEP barriers and personalized actions, psychologic supports for traumatic experiences, and offer of concurrent, additional health or prevention related services.

The standard of care differs according to country but does not routinely offer PEP or PrEP to clients seeking services, does not offer choice of service location, HIV testing option or access to medical provider mobile phone number.
