Sick of your daily dose of HIV meds?
Consider long-lasting injectables.
Cabenuva is an exciting development in the treatment for people living with HIV.
It is a long-lasting treatment, and it replaces the need for daily medication.
Cabenuva is an injectable antiretroviral therapy (ART). It has been shown to be safe and effective for people with an undetectable viral load. And it has minimal side effects.
Long-lasting, injectable ART:
These include:
- eliminates the need for daily tablets

- helps reduce stigma
- requires one trip to a GP in two months
Treating HIV effectively is a vital component to living well with HIV and a leaads to a better quality of life.
Injectable ART is available to everyone as part of Australia’s commitment to treatment for all. Cabenuva has been discounted for those with a Medicare card.
Under a new scheme in Tasmania, people without Medicare can access the same treatment through government-funded hospital pharmacies.
HIV medications are prescribed by Sexual Health Services in Tasmania such as Clinics 23, 34 or 60. You can also visit a specialist.
Injectables may not suit everyone. Your healthcare practitioner will walk you through the options and help you decide if the treatment is suitable.
