The Gauteng Department of Health strengthened HIV prevention efforts with the rollout of Lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention injection administered once every six months, which became available at 133 healthcare facilities across the province.

​We were at Chiawelo Community Health Centre in Soweto, where young people, key populations, s*x workers, and people who inject drugs, among others, were being initiated on Lenacapavir. This innovative prevention option expanded access to care and offered a more convenient choice for individuals who found it difficult to use daily prevention methods.

​Our health promotion teams, together with nurses, provided essential education on how Lenacapavir worked, its benefits, and the importance of combination prevention in reducing the risk of HIV infection. This included encouraging regular testing and consistent use of prevention services.
​It was important for the public to understand that Lenacapavir formed part of a comprehensive HIV prevention package and did not replace other critical interventions such as regular HIV testing, condom use, prevention and treatment of s*xually transmitted infections, voluntary medical male circumcision, and treatment for people living with HIV.
