HIV-1 RNA levels were longitudinally evaluated in 211 rectal and 152 seminal samples from 12 virologically-suppressed participants switching to monthly long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine or continuing with daily dolutegravir-abacavir-lamivudine. Maintenance of viral suppression in rectal and seminal compartments was comparable and blips occurred with similar frequency with both treatment regimens.
