Be sure to ask about:
- Your pharmacy and medical coverage
- Copays for treatment appointments
- Savings programs you may be eligible for
A trained ViiVConnect Access Coordinator can help you understand your insurance coverage and eligibility for savings or assistance programs.

Prepare for your treatment plan
Prepare for your treatment plan
Before starting your CABENUVA injections, you and your doctor will set up your treatment plan and schedule your first appointment.
You and your doctor will choose a Target Treatment Date for your ongoing appointments.
Choose a date that works for you regularly, as it’s important to keep your appointments.
Your doctor may have you take about a month of once-daily starter pills before your first injections to see if your body adversely reacts to the 2 medicines in CABENUVA.
Expand for more about starter pills.
Your free starter pills will be delivered to you or your doctor’s office in a CABENUVA Welcome Pack, which includes a printed guide and 2 bottles—each containing 30 tablets of 1 of the medicines in CABENUVA:
When you receive your Welcome Pack, confirm your next steps with your doctor’s office before taking any starter pills.
How to take your starter pills
You’ll begin taking your starter pills as directed, on the date you and your doctor have chosen.
Your doctor may advise you to take your starter pills right away or to finish your current prescription.
For about a month, you’ll take each of your 2 starter pills:
Once a day (1 VOCABRIA & 1 EDURANT)
Around the same time—with a meal

What to expect on your CABENUVA treatment day
You’ll take your last dose of daily pills on the same day as your first CABENUVA injection treatment.
During your appointment, a trained healthcare professional will give you 2 injections, 1 in each side of your buttocks. Each injection contains 1 of the 2 medicines in CABENUVA.
After your injections, your doctor may have you wait about 10 minutes to check for any reactions.
After that, it should be fine to return to your daily activities, but always check with your doctor.
Results may vary.
Look forward to your new routine
You'll get your CABENUVA injections on your Target Treatment Date, according to your treatment plan.
Your first and second injection appointments will be 1 month apart. After that, you will begin your monthly or every-other-month regimen.
To help stay undetectable, it is important to keep your planned appointments. If you can't make your Target Treatment Date, be sure to contact your doctor right away.
