Abstract
Background: We evaluated the impact of the CHORUS™ app on adherence to the cabotegravir and rilpivirine long-acting injectable (CAB + RPV LAI) monthly injections schedule.
Methods: Healthcare centers (HCCs) were randomized to access CHORUS™ CAB + RPV LAI features (intervention) or not (control) from 01OCT2021-31JAN2022. Target window adherence (maintenance injections ≤7 days before/after target day) was assessed with multivariate logistic regression (generalized estimating equations).
Results: CAB + RPV LAI was administered to 188 and 79 individuals at intervention and control HCCs, respectively. Intervention was not associated with improved target window adherence (adjusted odds ratio: 0.61 [95% CI: 0.30-1.25]). However, app use was associated with increased odds of adherence compared to no app use among all intervention HCCs (2.98 [1.26-7.06]) and at smaller HCCs (3.58 [1.31-9.80]).
Conclusions: While access to CHORUS™ CAB + RPV LAI features did not improve target window adherence, app use did, especially at smaller HCCs which may not have established LAI management procedures.
