AVAC and partners authored three new peer-reviewed articles this month on a range of HIV prevention issues. From the potential and challenges of long-acting formulations in HIV care, to the benefits of delivering family planning AND PrEP using pharmacies, e-pharmacies and private sector clinics, to the necessity for gender-transformative approaches to ensure effective and equitable participation of women in biomedical prevention trials, these are must-read pieces.
Prevention Option:
The latest edition of the Journal of the International AIDS Society features newly published research by AVAC and partners on the benefits of delivering family planning and PrEP using pharmacies, e-pharmacies and telemedicine, in addition to private sector clinics.
Prevention Option:
With a growing number of PrEP products in development and approved for use in various countries, and an increase in PrEP initiations worldwide, the future of PrEP has never been more exciting. Check out our newly redesigned PrEPWatch website to help navigate the latest research, policy developments, implementation strategies, and advocacy efforts worldwide. The updated site features an array of expanded PrEP resources and improved navigation. We hope PrEPWatch and its resources will be helpful in your advocacy.

Choice, access, and equity were central themes during the sessions and discussions at #AIDS2024 on Wednesday and Thursday. Highlights included new data on long-acting cabotegravir, a plenary calling out the need to move with speed, scale and equity in the rollout of new PrEP options, updated guidelines to improve access to post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), a renewed commitment to the African Women’s Choice Manifesto, new data highlighting the omission of key populations from sustainability planning, and much more.
Midpoint at #AIDS2024 in Munich, one of the most significant advances in HIV prevention in the history of the response, the efficacy of lenacapavir as PrEP, was presented at the Co-Chair’s Choice session. The findings, zero infections and 100% efficacy among the trial participants in the PURPOSE 1 trial, brought a standing ovation.
Lenacapavir for PrEP has taken center stage at the 25th International AIDS Conference, #AIDS2024, which opened Monday with many highlighting its potential for long-acting PrEP for HIV prevention. “It is gobsmackingly exciting to see zero in a clinical trial” AVAC’s Mitchell Warren told Forbes. The potential to bend the curve of the epidemic depends on speeding access to prevention options like LEN, that show high efficacy.
Prevention Option:
AIDS2024, this year’s annual conference of the International AIDS Society opened with a spotlight on troubling trends. A series of preconferences took on critical topics including supporting key populations in a time of increasing discrimination; new and novel research and implementation of STI prevention and treatment, witnessing a soaring rise in incidence; and the importance of implementing new PrEP options to create more choice for people who need HIV prevention most.
