HIV Prevention R&D at Risk
AVAC’s analysis of the impact of US Government funding cuts, terminated projects, and other policy changes on the HIV prevention research and development (R&D) pipeline, and on HIV research broadly.
Protect Federal Funding for HIV, TB, and STI Research and Prevention at the National Institutes of Health
AVAC and 627 organizations, institutions, researchers, clinicians, public health advocates and stakeholders submitted a written letter to the Senate HELP Committee urging lawmakers to reject the cuts to NIH funding for HIV, TB, and STI research and highlighting the impact of these cuts on lifesaving innovation and research infrastructure.

Why HIV Prevention Must Not Be Left Behind
In this presentation at the INTEREST 2025 conference, Rhoda Msiska of Copper Rose Zambia emphasizes the urgency of protecting the progress made in scaling up PrEP and the need to act now to expand access to new HIV prevention tools like injectable lenacapavir (LEN) and the Dual Prevention Pill (DPP).

Advocates’ Guide: Understanding the President’s Proposed Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) Budget and Its Implications for Science, Research and Global Health
The US administration’s proposed Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) budget marks a sweeping rollback of federal investment in health, research, and global development. For advocates, researchers, and implementers, this proposal demands urgent attention and action.

Worldwide Prevention, Shared Protection
This Issue Brief describes the impacts of the elimination and reduction of funding that supports sexually transmitted infection (STI) research, testing, and prevention programming. This funding is critically important as STI rates continue to increase globally with more than 1 million curable STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis, acquired every day. Without appropriate testing, treatment, and prevention programs, there is a risk that STI rates will continue to increase leading to more cases of infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and cancers.
Critical Advocacy: How Civil Society is defending the HIV Response and Global Health
In this episode of PxPulse Live, two veteran global health leaders from civil society join us to talk about how civil society is responding. Amanda Banda is Strategic Advisor to the COMPASS Coalition and Asia Russell is Executive Director of Health Gap, and both are members of CHANGE, a coalition with more than 1,500 people, from organizations in nearly every continent, working in coordination to defend global health and the HIV response.
PxWire Volume 15, Issue 2
The field of HIV prevention is confronted with two opposing forces—programs for delivering PrEP have been shuttered all over the world by the withdrawal of the US government from global health while next-generation long-acting products have never held greater promise to accelerate HIV prevention and help the world achieve epidemic control. This issue provides a snapshot on threats to delivering PrEP, the potential of injectable lenacapavir (LEN) for PrEP, and on the implications of upstream research and development of other long-acting PrEP.

PrEP Delivery Imperiled
Programs for delivering PrEP have been shuttered all over the world by the withdrawal of the US government from global health. This graphic illustrates some of the severe measurable impacts of these cuts.

Modelling Shows the Potential of LA-PrEP
Modelling data from South Africa demonstrate the potential of injectable PrEP to dramatically reduce HIV incidence by up to 90% by 2044, and potentially even sooner with more aggressive uptake. This potential goes beyond South Africa, lighting the way toward epidemic control the world over.

An “Innovation Pile-Up” in Next-Generation LA-PrEP is Possible
The HIV prevention market is headed toward a period of significant opportunity—and possible congestion—as a slate of new products are on track for continued development and potential introduction to the market in 2027 and 2028. Markets and policies must be built to support the products in the market already, so that new options can be rapidly deployed and deliver impact. Otherwise, the field will squander time and money, with epidemic control slipping further out of reach.
