Description

While HIV treatment and prevention has evolved significantly over the past 4 decades, over 35,000 HIV infections occur annually in the US. New data, guidelines, and recommendations provide opportunities for progress toward ending the HIV epidemic. Cabotegravir/rilpivirine is the first and only, complete, long-acting injectable treatment for HIV. Cabotegravir is also a candidate  to receive an indication for use as  HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) following reported data from 2 major clinical trials. STIs can facilitate HIV transmission; therefore, screening for, diagnosis of, and appropriate treatment of bacterial STIs including gonorrhea is essential in the care of people living with and at risk for HIV. Recently, the CDC released new guidelines on the treatment of gonorrhea to recommend an increased, single dose, ceftriaxone-based regimen.
