Key Messages on Long-Acting Injectable PrEP (LEN)

1. What is Lenacapavir (LEN)?

Lenacapavir (LEN) is a new long-acting injectable medicine that helps prevent HIV infection.

It is a form of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), meaning it is taken before exposure to HIV to reduce the risk of infection.

One injection protects a person for six months, making it easier to stay protected.

2. Who is eligible?

LEN is intended for HIV-negative people who are at substantial risk of acquiring HIV. These include:

People with an HIV-positive s*xual partner who is not virally suppressed or whose viral status is unknown.

Individuals with multiple s*xual partners.

S*x workers.

Men who have s*x with men.

Transgender people at risk of HIV.

People who inject drugs and share injecting equipment.

Adolescent girls and young women and young people at increased risk of HIV infection.

Anyone assessed by a trained health worker to be at substantial risk of HIV.

3. Who is NOT eligible?

People who are HIV positive.

Anyone who has not first undergone HIV testing and been confirmed HIV negative.

Individuals who do not meet the eligibility assessment by a health worker.

4. Benefits of LEN

Provides protection for six months with one injection.

Highly effective in preventing HIV when taken correctly.

Eliminates the need to take a pill every day.

Convenient, discreet and easy to maintain.

Expands the range of HIV prevention choices available in Malawi.

5. Important facts

LEN does not cure HIV.

LEN does not treat HIV infection.

LEN does not protect against s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) or prevent pregnancy.

Continue using condoms to protect against STIs and unintended pregnancies.

6. Before receiving LEN

A health worker will:

Test you for HIV.

Assess your risk of HIV infection.

Discuss whether LEN is the right HIV prevention option for you.

Provide counselling on HIV prevention.

7. Continue protecting yourself

Even when using LEN:

Practice safer s*x.

Use condoms consistently and correctly.

Get regular HIV testing as advised.

Seek medical advice if you think you have been exposed to HIV.

8. Where can people access LEN?

LEN will be available in selected public health facilities beginning 1 July 2026 as part of Malawi's HIV prevention programme.

Visit your nearest health facility for information on availability and eligibility.

9. Call to Action

Day 2 of world to***co day preparation screening and testing



Location: Mbala DHO.

27/05/2026

Ministry of Health will this year commemorate World To***co day on the 31st of May, 2026 under the theme:

"UNMASKING THE APPEAL-COUNTERING NI****NE AND TO***CO ADDICTION"

To***co use remains a major public health concern globally, nationally and locally, contributing significantly to non communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and chronic respiratory conditions. According the World Health Organisation, To***co kills more than 8 million people each year, including non smokers exposed to second hand smoke.

Mbala DHO will join the rest of the World in commemorating this important event and as we prepare for this event we will be screening for the following services:
1. Tuberculosis
2. Non communicable diseases (diabetes, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory conditions etc)
3. Malaria
4. Nutrition conditions
And many more.

Pass through DHO or any nearby health facility and ask me how you can get these services.
