Twice-yearly YEZTUGO access in NYC

This page explains how YEZTUGO access actually works: starter dosing, six-month continuation visits, medical-setting administration, HIV testing requirements, and the medication-shipment path.

YEZTUGO is given as two subcutaneous injections every 6 months after starter dosing. On day 1, the patient receives two oral tablets and two injections in a medical setting. On day 2, two more oral tablets are taken at home. HIV testing is required before starting and before each injection visit.

YEZTUGO support pages should reduce rollout confusion The strongest support pages make the timing, coverage, and operations path clear enough that patients and internal teams are not guessing.

Twice-Yearly Access in plain language

YEZTUGO is given as two subcutaneous injections every 6 months after starter dosing. On day 1, the patient receives two oral tablets and two injections in a medical setting. On day 2, two more oral tablets are taken at home. HIV testing is required before starting and before each injection visit.

The medication path can slow down the first visit

YEZTUGO is not a retail-pharmacy medication. Official patient materials say the provider may carry it in office or obtain it another way, such as through a specialty pharmacy, and delivery can take about 30 days once a prescription is ordered.

What matters most here

YEZTUGO is given as two subcutaneous injections every 6 months after starter dosing. On day 1, the patient receives two oral tablets and two injections in a medical setting. On day 2, two more oral tablets are taken at home. HIV testing is required before starting and before each injection visit.

CDC recommends blood-based HIV antigen/antibody testing on the day of the initial lenacapavir injection and with follow-up injections, with HIV RNA testing at initiation if available. NYC guidance also recommends ongoing STI screening several times a year rather than assuming the six-month injection interval replaces sexual-health follow-up.
