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.
Accelerating Product Innovation and Availability
Improving how prevention is delivered
Developing a rich pipeline of options for HIV prevention is essential and must be guided by community priorities that define what products are needed and supported through R&D.
Once approved, interventions typically become widely available in wealthy countries within a few years time. But scaling up new options in lower and middle-income countries lags for years, even decades, with devastating effects on global health, individual lives, and the global effort to end the epidemic.
AVAC’s work supports:
- Development of timely, effective and affordable prevention options
- Including community needs and perspectives in R&D
- Getting products faster to market and to scale
- Understanding the products’ users
- Compiling and analyzing market data
- Sharing information
- Bringing effective prevention options to those who need them
- Advocating for the integration of HIV services with sexual and reproductive health

Gears of Lenacapavir for PrEP Rollout
This document outlines a focused plan for LEN for PrEP rollout over the next few years, specifying priorities by stakeholder and evaluating volume and pricing strategies. The report as a whole details a coordinated response to this historic opportunity to ensure rapid implementation, equitable access, and sustainable impact.

The Future of ARV-Based Prevention and More
The pipeline of non-vaccine HIV prevention products includes oral pills, vaginal rings, vaginal and rectal gels, vaginal films, long-acting injectable antiretrovirals and more. Also pictured are the range of MPTs in development that aim to reduce the risk of HIV and STIs and/or provide effective contraception for women.
An Overview of Lenacapavir for PrEP Trials
The PURPOSE trials evaluate the safety and efficacy of injectable lenacapavir (LEN), an investigational antiretroviral (ARV) drug being studied as a potential PrEP product. This graphic shows the latest status of all five trials including the groundbreaking results of PURPOSE 1 and PURPOSE 2.

The Latest on Accelerating Product Innovation
Moving a Product to the Real World
To reach the UNAIDS target of 10 million PrEP users by 2025, initiations of oral PrEP alone will not be enough—and this graphic shows that the field is beginning to apply past lessons to accelerate introduction of injectable cabotegravir.
Re-Imagining Prevention: Ensuring sustainable PrEP access in an evolving funding context
If you are attending the International AIDS Society Conference (IAS), be sure to join AVAC and the Ministry of Health, Zambia for a vital conversation on:
- The impact of PEPFAR funding restrictions on prevention programs
- Introduction plans for new PrEP options
- Opportunities to mobilize for effective rollout and scale-up of PrEP
- Co-hosted by: Mia Malan of Bhekisisa, and Mitchell Warren of AVAC
Embracing Task Shifting and Innovation to Support Expanded Access to Long-Acting Injectable PrEP
While the HIV prevention buffet will soon offer a second form of long acting injectable PrEP, ensuring access to all those who can benefit requires innovations in service delivery such as task shifting. In the United States, two Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) have implemented programming that has expanded clinic capacity, resulting in more individuals being able to choose long acting injectable PrEP. We also heard about innovative efforts to expand PrEP access in South Africa and learned what it takes to integrate task shifting for long-acting PrEP injection programs. We discussed other ways we can collectively innovate to support expanded, sustainable access to all forms of PrEP.
