Looking for support

I’ve read that those of us on once daily ARVs might be a thing of the past in the very near future. Many studies are showing real promise that injectables are going to be the new gold standard treatment.we have cabanuva currently but from what I’m understanding soon there will be more injections options where one injection a month is all that’s needed.

With Thanksgiving around the corner and covid-19, a lot of plans have changed this year. How have your plans been affected and what will you be doing this year?🦃
