AVAC tracks global PrEP use by conducting quarterly surveys of ongoing oral PrEP demonstration and implementation projects, and collecting data from manufacturers and government agencies. This graphic shows data on PrEP initiations in Africa. For more trends in oral PrEP uptake, check out the Oral PrEP Enrollment Snapshot slide deck and visit PrEPWatch.
PrEP Initiations by Country in Africa
A Global Look at PrEP Introduction
The introduction of PrEP took many years to reach current levels of acceptance and availability. The next phase of distribution is on track to move faster. This is an updated version of a graphic appearing in AVAC Report 2017: Mixed messages and how to untangle them.
Map of HIV Prevention Research and PrEP Demonstration Sites in Kenya
This map demonstrates the breadth of HIV prevention research and demonstration projects in Kenya by site and type (e.g. daily oral PrEP, preventive Vaccines, etc.). This map was developed by Wits RHI with support from AVAC as part of the Coalition to Accelerate and Support Prevention Research.
Map of HIV Prevention Research and PrEP Demonstration Sites in Malawi
This map demonstrates the breadth of HIV prevention research in Malawi by site and type (e.g. ARV-based vaginal rings, long-acting injectable PrEP, preventive Vaccines, antibodies). This map was developed by Wits RHI with support from AVAC as part of the Coalition to Accelerate and Support Prevention Research.
Map of HIV Prevention Research and PrEP Demonstration Sites in Uganda

Prevention Research & Oral PrEP Rollout: The evolving context for HIV prevention research
Many of the current or planned prevention trials are taking place in countries where daily oral PrEP is available or will be soon. This infographic shows the status PrEP and the location of scheduled trials by country.
New Issue! Px Wire: The prevention question cascade
In the new issue of Px Wire, AVAC gives our take on this year’s PEPFAR process for establishing the Country Operational Plans (COPs). These plans define what work will be done with PEPFAR money at the country level and how that work will be evaluated in each of the 63 countries that receive PEPFAR money.
The process has changed considerably since last year, allowing for deeper insights into what’s working and what’s not. In this issue, AVAC takes you through the good and bad of PEPFAR’s emphasis on index testing, analyzes crucial gaps in combination prevention, and lays out a series of questions to shape a powerful agenda for advocacy.
This issue’s centerspread takes a closer look at Zimbabwe’s data, and highlights amfAR’s detailed country factsheets that draw from PEPFAR’s giant data sets. Additional tools and information on influencing the COPs process are available from COMPASS partner Health GAP’s PEPFAR Watch.

Px Pulse Podcast: From the trenches, advocates share their prevention priorities
Check out the April episode of Px Pulse on iTunes or at www.avac.org/px-pulse!
We bring you two different conversations, each throwing a spotlight on different aspects of HIV prevention advocacy today.
AVAC’s Manju Chatani-Gada talks with three advocates who attended AVAC’s African Advocacy Partners’ Forum in Johannesburg, where seasoned and new advocates came together to look at prevention priorities from every angle. In this discussion, you’ll hear how the forum brought key issues into focus and how these advocates are sharpening their strategies.
Then we turn to a global effort to accelerate prevention.
Christine Stegling, the head of the UK-based International HIV/AIDS Alliance joins us to talk about a new initiative led by UNAIDS and UNFPA to escalate and maximize HIV prevention in the 25 countries with the biggest number of new HIV diagnoses. Dubbed the Global HIV Prevention Coalition, we talk with Christine about how to know if it’s living up to its name.
