PxWire

A Quarterly Update on HIV Prevention from R&D to Access

Volume 15, Issue 3

PxWire is AVAC’s quarterly update on biomedical HIV prevention. Each issue highlights key developments, challenges and opportunities, and features a centerspread infographic that provides a visual tool for framing these issues.

With the recent FDA approval of injectable lenacapavir (LEN) for PrEP and the drastic withdrawal of US investment in HIV prevention, the field must reimagine and recommit to getting PrEP rollout right this time AND to sustaining the HIV research pipeline. Research on HIV has brought numerous advances to global health, but controlling, and ultimately ending, the epidemic depends on continued investment in innovation.

This issue of PxWire looks at the scale of shuttered prevention programs for key populations (KPs), the potential market for injectable LEN, and the devastating cuts to research for an HIV vaccine.
