5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Comprehensive management to reduce the risk of HIV-1 acquisition. ( 5.1 ) Potential risk of developing resistance to lenacapavir if an individual acquires HIV-1 either before or when receiving YEZTUGO, or following discontinuation of YEZTUGO. Test before each injection and additionally as clinically appropriate to confirm HIV-1 negative status ( 5.2 ) Residual concentrations of lenacapavir may remain in systemic circulation for up to 12 months or longer. ( 5.3 ) Improper administration (intradermal injection) has been associated with serious injection site reactions. ( 5.4 ) 5.1 Comprehensive Management to Reduce the Risk of HIV-1 Infection and Other Sexually Acquired Infections Use YEZTUGO to reduce the risk of HIV-1 acquisition as part of a comprehensive prevention strategy including adherence to the administration schedule and safer sex practices, including condoms, to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). YEZTUGO is not always effective in preventing HIV-1 acquisition [see Clinical Studies (14) ]. The time from initiation of YEZTUGO for HIV-1 PrEP to maximal protection against HIV-1 infection is unknown. Risk for HIV-1 acquisition includes behavioral, biological, or epidemiologic factors including, but not limited to, condomless sex, past or current STIs, self-identified HIV risk, having sexual partners of unknown HIV-1 viremic status, or sexual activity in a high prevalence area or network. Counsel individuals on the use of other prevention measures (e.g., consistent and correct condom use; knowledge of partner(s)’ HIV-1 status, including viral suppression status; regular testing for STIs that can facilitate HIV-1 transmission). Inform individuals about and support their efforts in reducing sexual behaviors associated with HIV-1 acquisition risk. Use YEZTUGO to reduce the risk of HIV-1 acquisition only in individuals confirmed to be HIV-1 negative [see Contraindications (4) ] . Evaluate for current or recent signs or symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection (e.g., fever, fatigue, myalgia, skin rash). Confirm HIV-1 negative status prior to initiating YEZTUGO, prior to each subsequent injection of YEZTUGO, and additionally as clinically appropriate (e.g., upon diagnosis of other sexually transmitted infections or if clinical symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection are present) using a test approved or cleared by the FDA for the diagnosis of acute or primary HIV-1 infection [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ] . Counsel and support individuals on adhering to the YEZTUGO administration schedule, on the use of other measures to reduce the risk of STIs, and on the importance of routine testing for HIV-1 and other STIs. Some individuals, such as adolescents, may benefit from additional counseling and appointment reminders to support adherence to the dosing and testing schedule [see Use in Specific Populations (8.4) ] . 5.2 Potential Risk of Resistance with YEZTUGO There is a potential risk of developing resistance to YEZTUGO if an individual acquires HIV-1 either before or when receiving YEZTUGO, or following discontinuation of YEZTUGO. HIV-1 resistance substitutions may emerge in individuals with undiagnosed HIV-1 infection who are taking only YEZTUGO, because YEZTUGO alone does not constitute a complete regimen for HIV-1 treatment [see Microbiology (12.4) ] . To minimize this risk, it is essential to test before each injection and additionally as clinically appropriate (e.g., upon diagnosis of other sexually transmitted infections or if clinical symptoms consistent with acute HIV-1 infection are present) to confirm HIV-1 negative status using a test approved or cleared by the FDA for the diagnosis of acute or primary HIV-1 infection. Individuals who are confirmed to have HIV-1 must immediately begin a complete HIV-1 treatment regimen to reduce the risk of developing resistance. In addition, due to the long-acting properties of YEZTUGO, alternative forms of PrEP should be considered following discontinuation of YEZTUGO for those individuals with HIV-1 negative status who are at continuing risk of HIV-1 acquisition and initiated within 28 weeks of the last YEZTUGO injection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. 5.3 Long-Acting Properties and Potential Associated Risks with YEZTUGO Healthcare providers should take the long-acting properties of YEZTUGO into consideration when YEZTUGO is prescribed. Residual concentrations of lenacapavir may remain in the systemic circulation of individuals for prolonged periods (up to 12 months or longer after the last subcutaneous dose). It is important to select individuals who agree to the required injection dosing schedule because non-adherence to every-6-monthly injections or missed doses could lead to HIV-1 acquisition and development of resistance. Lenacapavir, a moderate CYP3A inhibitor, may increase the exposure to, and therefore potential risk of adverse reactions from, drugs primarily metabolized by CYP3A initiated within 9 months after the last subcutaneous dose of YEZTUGO [see Drug Interactions (7.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 5.4 Serious Injection Site Reactions with Improper Administration Improper administration (intradermal injection) of lenacapavir has been associated with serious injection site reactions, including necrosis and ulcer. Ensure YEZTUGO is only administered subcutaneously [see Dosage and Administration (2.6) ] .
