About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to establish an operational framework for home self-collections of blood samples to be used for antiviral drug concentration measurements.
Participants will continue on their prescribed antiviral(s) for HIV treatment or prevention and followed for up to approximately 1 year. The investigators will compare drug concentrations of antivirals and relevant metabolites/anabolites in clinic-collected and self-collected blood samples.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
≥18 years old
Receiving one or more antivirals for HIV treatment or prevention. This may include TFV (as TDF or TAF) and FTC (or 3TC)-based, LA (e.g., LA IM CAB±RPV Q4W or Q8W), or other antivirals (those who are transitioning to LA antivirals [e.g., LA IM CAB±RPV Q4W or Q8W] will also be eligible)
Current patient at the UCH-IDGP clinic
Able to comply with study procedures, including directly observed self-collection of DBS by fingerstick, Tasso-M20/Tasso+, Mitra, and/or other self-collection methods/devices, and completion of survey
Disqualifiers
Inability to provide informed consent
Unable or unwilling to comply with directly observed self-collection of DBS (e.g., unavailable or unable to use live video-streaming or time-stamped video recording technology)
Any uncontrolled medical, social, or mental health issue(s) that, in the opinion of the investigators, could interfere with the study participation or study outcomes (e.g., current incarceration)
Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the study team, acutely and/or transiently influences the PK of CAB±RPV, including acute kidney injury, hepatic insufficiency, significant drug-drug interactions, active hemolysis or symptomatic hemoglobinopathies, etc. (Note: Given the need for PK data in pregnancy, women who become pregnant while on LA IM CAB±RPV Q4W or Q8W will be allowed to participate in this study, if their clinical provider decides to continue this regimen.)
