Promising developments in HIV prevention! South Africa rolled out a new, biannual HIV prevention drug on Friday that has the potential to drastically cut infection rates.

"Lenacapavir, a kind of Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), is injected into the stomach every six months and is basically failproof at preventing high-risk individuals from contracting the virus."

We're hoping this potentially game-changing medication will be widely available--and affordable--soon. In the mean time, we are seeing remarkable success rates in our PrEP clinic with cabotegravir, which is injected just once every two months.

A new twice-yearly HIV prevention injection could transform South Africa's fight against the epidemic — but U.S. aid cuts and limited doses threaten to slow its impact.
