What Do I Do Now?

Please share this screen with your HIV care team, so they know you have received this information. Your HIV care team will ask you if you want to learn more about injectable HIV treatment today.

It is totally okay to not want to talk about this right away, or ever! Long-acting injectable treatment is not right for everyone, and many people are happy with their current HIV oral regimen.

If you DO want to talk about this, you can use these quiz results to guide your discussion with your HIV care team to come to a decision that feels right for you.

Here are some reasons you may or may not want to start long-acting injectable HIV treatment based on your quiz responses.

Reasons to start:

  • My current oral HIV regimen does not work well for me.

  • I am willing to regularly come in person for injections as scheduled (e.g., every month or every 2 months). 

  • I am okay with experiencing some pain during the injections. 

  • I am okay with experiencing some pain for a few days after the injections that could impact my ability to work or be active.

Reasons to not start:

  • It would not be easy for me to regularly come in person to clinic for injections as scheduled (e.g., every month or every 2 months)

For injectable treatment to work for me I would need:

  • Evening/weekend hours

  • Help with transportation
