15-20 minutes versus 3 minutes



That is really underestimating the time. When was the last time you had a medical appointment and went straight back.

a mean wait time of 48 minutes




Then the nurse has to wait for the drug from pharmacy, most will not bring the medicine until the patient shows up, the nurse has to find a vein, and then infusion itself I've read takes 40 minutes for Ibalizumab.

If you add drive time, parking time, walking into the facility, checking in, waiting, the infusion, it is a major inconvenience.


Versus giving yourself subcutaneous injection, probably about a minute.
