Apretude in Thailand: First Injectable HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Is Approved

Discover Thailand’s ground-breaking solution to HIV prevention
Apretude, the first injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention, is now approved in Thailand. On December 20, 2021, the FDA officially endorsed Apretude, an extended-release formulation of cabotegravir, as a safer and more effective alternative to daily PrEP pills. This innovation marks a pivotal shift in sexual health and HIV prevention across diverse communities.

Why Choose Apretude?

Convenience and Simplicity: With Apretude, there’s no need for daily pills. A quick injection administered by a healthcare provider every two months provides superior HIV protection. Suitable for adults and teens weighing at least 35 kg, Apretude ensures safety and effectiveness for all sexual activities, regardless of gender identity.

A Highly Effective Alternative: Compared to traditional PrEP pills, which have limitations—like being unsuitable for cisgender females or on-demand use—Apretude offers unmatched efficacy. It reduces HIV risk by 92%, making it the most effective PrEP option for women and individuals of all genders.

How Apretude Works

• Initial Screening: A healthcare provider performs an HIV test.
• Starting Dose: Choose between two monthly injections or a one-month cabotegravir pill regimen before transitioning to injections.
• Maintenance Injections: Apretude is administered every two months with a flexible 7-day window. Missed doses can be temporarily replaced with daily pills.

Side Effects

Some may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically subsides within days.

Apretude for Everyone

• Women: Offers a reliable, hassle-free HIV prevention method tailored to women’s needs.
• Men: Removes the burden of daily pills, delivering consistent protection.
• Gay Men: Enhances adherence with a discreet, long-acting option.
• Transgender Individuals: Addresses unique healthcare challenges with an effective and inclusive solution.

Proven Superiority Over Truvada

Clinical studies highlight Apretude’s efficacy:

• Cisgender Men & Transgender Women: A 69% lower HIV-1 acquisition rate compared to Truvada.
• Cisgender Women: A 90% risk reduction compared to Truvada, proving unmatched effectiveness.

Cost of Apretude in Thailand

Priced at 19,500 THB per dose, Apretude offers premium HIV prevention every two months.
