We describe referrals and uptake of long-acting injectable cabotegravir/rilpivirine at an academic clinic in Chicago. In a pharmacy-led model, 118 (18%) people with HIV were referred and 78 (12%) initiated long-acting injectable cabotegravir/rilpivirine from 1 January 2021 to 31 May 2023. Implementation, especially for people with HIV who were not virally suppressed, requires further support for patients, providers, and clinic systems.

Background: Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) reduce relapses in schizophrenia; however, most clinicians reserve LAIs for nonadherence with oral antipsychotics (OAs) or severe disease.

Methods: US psychiatric clinicians were surveyed regarding their schizophrenia management practices and use of LAIs. Respondents were grouped by LAI use (high [≥ 31% of patients using LAIs], low [≤ 14% using LAIs]; mid not analyzed) and mindset based on their response to "Which of the following best fits the current way you view your use of [LAIs] for your patients with schizophrenia?"

Results: Respondents (n = 380) were distributed across LAI use (106 high, 130 low) and mindset (123 early-use, 88 severity-reserved, 113 adherence-reserved, 56 LAI-hesitant) subgroups.

Impact of long-acting injectable antipsychotics in early psychosis: An umbrella review.

Schizophr Res

March 2025

Univ. Bordeaux, Inserm, Bordeaux Population Health Research Center, team pharmacoepidemiology, UMR 1219, F-33000 Bordeaux, France. Electronic address:

Objectives: There is still no consensus regarding the indications of long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) in early psychosis (EP). This umbrella review synthesizes findings from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the risk-benefit balance of LAIs in EP.

Methods: Eligible systematic reviews and meta-analyses on LAIs in EP were identified by a MEDLINE search from inception until June 2024.

Paliperidone-induced neuroleptic malignant syndrome: A case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

March 2025

Clinic of Psychiatry, Mersin Sehir Egitim ve Arastirma Hastanesi, Toroslar, Mersin, Turkey.

Rationale: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare, life-threatening complication of neuroleptic (antipsychotic) medications. Paliperidone is an atypical antipsychotic used in the treatment of schizophrenia. While current evidence suggests that atypical oral antipsychotics have a lower incidence of NMS compared to typical oral antipsychotics, there is limited information available on the incidence and management of NMS associated with long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics.

Introduction: There are persistent race- and ethnicity-based disparities in HIV incidence among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the United States, partially driven by inequities in distribution of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We assessed how additional modalities of PrEP beyond daily oral might affect the uptake of PrEP and ongoing disparities in HIV incidence in the United States.

Methods: In an online survey of GBMSM in the United States, we presented participants with descriptions of each PrEP modality.
