Quality of life will be evaluated by MOS-HIV (Medical Outcomes Study HIV Health Survey) Questionnaires at day 1, weeks 4,36,60 and 72. Questionnaire score has ranges from 0 to 100. The higher the score, indicates better health

Evaluate the adherence of patients switching to injectable treatment
Patient adherence will be measured at 72 weeks, through the number of injections that the patient attends.
Evaluate safety of the injectable treatment
The evaluation of safety will be monitored through incidence of All Drug related AEs and SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuations
Describe percentage of patients who prefer injectable over oral therapy at 72 weeks follow up
Patient´s preference will be described by "SOLAR preference questionnaire" at week 72 by the percentaqe of patients that prefer injectable over oral therapy
