African countries reaffirm support for a new multilateral Pandemic Accord even as pressure mounts to sign bilateral US health agreements. The UK has reduced its upcoming Global Fund pledge just weeks before the replenishment summit. Meanwhile, additional regulatory submissions of LEN for PrEP are being made reflecting accelerated actions and real lessons learned from earlier PrEP rollout.

We’re seeing one of the most challenging moments in HIV prevention history – and the cruelest ironies. On one side, science and advocacy are delivering unprecedented progress via injectable lenacapavir (LEN) for PrEP. On the other, the global systems meant to deliver LEN and other potential innovations are being dismantled.

This week, Zambia joined South Africa in approving injectable lenacapavir for PrEP (LEN), marking a new era of accelerated efforts to scale-up access. At the same time, there’s sharpening analyses of the major shifts in US strategy for foreign aid and global health leadership, with deep implications for the future of funding, multilateralism, and equity.

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...
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.
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.
