Since 2017, a joint study between the Centers for Disease Control Prevention and the University of North Carolina has worked to develop an injectable implant that can release pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications into the body for an extended period.
The latest research in Nature Communications shows that the most recent formulation can provide up to six months of full protection against HIV in non-human primates.
The formulation changes resulted in a significantly lower burst release of the drug. With the dosage determined effective in macaques, the next step is to see if the same dosage given to the macaques would also stay in the human body for at least 5.6 months.
