Major local & global health justice orgs call on @GovernmentZA to take steps to issue a compulsory license for #lenacapavir.

South Africa May Be Excluded From Future US #PEPFAR Grants for #HIV Amid Political Row, writes @kerrycullinan11 @HealthZA @HealthJusticeIn @HealthGap @TAC healthpolicy-watch.news/south-africa-m…

⏰The US has not engaged South Africa on the future of its @PEPFAR HIV grant — and says it won’t supply lenacapavir amid a widening political rift. Millions could be affected as the world’s largest HIV+ population faces uncertainty. 📰➡️healthpolicy-watch.news/south-africa-m… ✍️@kerrycullinan11 @GlobalFund @GileadSciences @HealthJusticeIn @HealthGAP @HealthZA @Foster_Mohale @SikazweZuzu @_HassanF @SibongileTsha14 @CyrilRamaphosa @AfricaMediaHub

The lesson from history is clear: When lifesaving HIV treatment was delayed, millions died needlessly. We cannot afford the same mistake with HIV prevention, write Fatima Hassan, Leena Menghaney, and Bellinda Nkoana. @HealthJusticeIn spotlightnsp.co.za/2025/09/09/a-n…

"Imagine a new HIV prevention tool existed that could – if it reached the right people – flick the switch to prevent almost all new HIV cases across the world... @_HassanF , Leena Menghaney, and Bellinda Nkoana brilliant piece @HealthJusticeIn spotlightnsp.co.za/2025/09/09/a-n…

'PRICE SECRECY' | As delegates convene at the SA AIDS Conference, they must publicly call out the demand for price secrecy from Gilead and the Global Fund for what it is: bullying. #SAAIDS05 @HealthJusticeIn spotlightnsp.co.za/2025/09/09/a-n…

The push to normalise secrecy, particularly when public or donor money is involved, should ring alarm bells.

Millions who need HIV prevention could face rationing, with health providers forced to leave the most vulnerable populations behind.
