Patient and injection partner perspectives on barriers and facilitators to home-based administration of long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LAI-ART) offers an alternative to daily oral treatment but is typically administered in clinics, which can create barriers for some people with HIV (PWH). Home-based administration by trained treatment buddies (TBYs)-trusted partners, friends, or family members-has not been systematically studied. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 31 participants (16 PWH and 15 TBYs) across 4 HIV clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area between June 2024 and April 2025. Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), interviews explored anticipated facilitators, barriers, and training needs for home-based LAI-ART. Participants identified several anticipated benefits of home-based LAI-ART, including increased convenience, reduced transportation burdens, enhanced privacy, comforting and emotionally supportive care, and opportunities to foster empowerment and shared responsibility between PWH and TBYs. Key barriers included concerns about medication storage and delivery logistics, maintaining reliable injection schedules, needlestick safety, and the readiness and confidence of TBYs. Participants emphasized the need for hands-on training, ongoing support, and clear protocols to ensure safe, acceptable, and effective home-based administration. These findings underscore the importance of proactive planning and tailored support in addressing both the technical and emotional dimensions of home-based LAI-ART. Anticipating these needs can facilitate the successful implementation and expand access to person-centered HIV care.
