What steps do you recommend to ensure continued viral suppression and prevent drug resistance in an HIV patient on injectable cabotegravir and rilpivirine who misses their scheduled injection appointment by two weeks?

When the patient returns to clinic, I would check an HIV VL and CD4 count and simply restart the same ART (cabaneuva). If the VL comes back high then resistance testing should be performed and the ART can be adjusted.
