This study will see if long-acting injectable HIV medicine (a shot) can be used by people who have had problems taking their HIV pills regularly or have had problems attending their clinic appointments.
Only people with a detectable viral load can go on this study.
This study doesn't give the shot at the beginning. The first step is to take oral medicines for HIV and to lower the amount of virus in the blood.
After several months, people who sign up for this study will transition from pills to the shot.
