Advances over the past ten years toward an HIV cure have moved cure research from a dream to an attainable goal. The field has learned more about the power of the innate immune system through individuals who have controlled their virus, either spontaneously or post-treatment, and these insights have spurred innovation and momentum in cure research.

By Bridget Jjuuko and Jeanne Baron Last year, Gloria Nawanyaga decided to do something about the devastating numbers of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) who acquire HIV in her country, Uganda. At approximately 10,000 new cases of HIV among...

This week, South Africa became the first African nation to register injectable lenacapavir (LEN) for PrEP. The US released a draft global health “Memorandum of Understanding” (MoU) with serious omissions related to HIV prevention and community engagement; and a leaked document indicates that the European Union may cut future funding to Gavi and the Global Fund. And just as this issue was being published, The Lancet issued a new series, Innovations in Sexual and Reproductive Health.
Enormous changes are underway in HIV prevention and across global health. It’s our work to vigilantly track impacts on research, development and delivery and to call out inequity, greed, misinformation, and misguided assumptions. Here are three questions advocates are asking now along with resources to support this work.
This week major shifts in development finance make headlines as do the real-time consequences of the US cuts to foreign aid and withdrawing from the WHO. AVAC’s new issue of PxWire amplifies issues of access, equity, and accountability with an update on biomedical prevention research and rollout.
The global burden of STIs is staggering with more than one million treatable STIs being acquired daily, and new threats like antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea and rising syphilis cases demanding urgent action. Yet funding, research, and political attention lag far behind the need.
This issue provides a range of maps to help orient the field on critical HIV prevention activities: the status of delivering injectable cabotegravir (CAB for PrEP); funders and countries on track for early introduction of injectable lenacapavir (LEN for PrEP); and where new Phase 3 efficacy trials testing MK-8527 as a monthly pill for PrEP are taking place.
The US government shutdown escalated this week as the Administration laid off thousands of workers before chaotically retracting many of these notices. The UK-based Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) abruptly cut all funding to US-based NGOs, and world leaders urged a streamlined global health system amid funding cuts.
As the US government is in its second week of being shut down, the ripple effects across global health shows the interconnectedness of the public health infrastructure in the US and globally and uncertainty about the future of foreign aid. Amid this turmoil, the World Health Organization has prequalified injectable lenacapavir for PrEP in record time, using a new, expedited process.
