Long-acting HIV shot study aims to make prevention fairer for all

NCT ID NCT07620730

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a long-acting injectable HIV prevention drug (cabotegravir) can be delivered fairly and effectively in NHS sexual health clinics. Researchers will follow 200 people taking the drug for 12 months, along with 20 healthcare professionals, to see how well it works in real-world settings and whether it reaches groups often underserved by current prevention options.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

long-acting cabotegravir (LA CAB)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that long-acting injectable PrEP is a practical and equitable option for HIV prevention in the NHS, especially for underserved groups.

What could go wrong

This is an implementation study, not a test of the drug itself. It may reveal barriers that limit uptake or persistence, and results may not apply outside the UK.
