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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Global Health Watch: Further Funding Cuts and “America First” Policies for Research Expand Threats to Global Health

The threats and actions to decimate US biomedical research and global health continued this week as the world marked 100 days of the new administration. A proposed $9.3 billion rescission package would codify unprecedented cuts to NIH, USAID, and global health programs. At the same time, a draft NIH policy may halt funding for research outside the US threatening thousands of global collaborations.
