Chemsex Health Evaluation With Extended Release System for HIV Treatment
Sponsor: Clinique Médicale L'Actuel
Summary
CHEERS is an observational cohort for people living with HIV who are actively practicing chemsex and who are switching to CAB + RPV LA after being virologically suppressed on a stable oral ART regimen. This study aim to assess the impact of increased patient engagement associated with this LA regimen on linkage to psychosocial care and on global health outcomes, such as quality of life, substance use, treatment satisfaction and virological control. Eligible participants will need to be currently out of care for psychosocial counselling and will need to express the wish to switch to CAB + RPV LA. The participants will be followed in this study for 11 months from their first LA administration, according to the schedule of injections. In addition to standard of care procedures, such as blood draw and physical exam, patient reported outcome questionnaires will be administered at certain visits and a semi-directed interview will be conducted at the beginning and at the end of the study. CAB + RPV LA will be used in line with the Canadian monography.
