• Reasons to consider regimen optimization in setting of viral suppression
• Available switch regimens, including 2-drug regimens and long-acting ART
• Approaches to assess for resistance before starting long-acting cabotegravir plus rilpivirine 
• DHHS recommendations on proviral DNA genotyping
• ART optimization strategies for patients living with viral suppression and history of underlying resistance
