Acceptability of long-acting antiretroviral therapy among people living with HIV who use drugs in Vancouver, Canada: A qualitative study
There is potential for high LA-ART uptake among PLHIV who use drugs, particularly those who experience adherence barriers due to their substance use and structural vulnerability. While our findings are limited by the specific population and setting, they nevertheless underscore the need for efforts to ensure universal and equitable access to LA-ART.
