Summary
This study looks at a new long-acting shot called lenacapavir, given every 6 months, to prevent HIV in people who inject drugs. About 181 participants in the US will receive either the shot or daily pills, and researchers will check how the drug moves through the body and if it is safe. The goal is to find a more convenient way to protect this high-risk group from HIV.
