The United States and the @GlobalFund announced their commitment to expand access to lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention tool, to reach another million people over the next three years.
Building on the original agreement, this brings the total joint commitment to 3 million people through 2028.
“Many governments and scientists across Africa use the @UNAIDS data to understand where more efforts need to be put in place... UNAIDS holds the mirror to the epidemic for everyone to see and act.”

Congratulations to you both!
4 days of #Continuum2025 have reinforced for me just how very important it is to be in community to address the needs of people who are affected by #HIV. Deeply grateful to ~500 delegates for an examination of how we optimize the care continuum in the current environment.

#PEPFAR losing funding for #PrEP is a major setback to controlling #HIV.
“We have this potential game-changer which could accelerate the end of #HIV as a public health threat, yet it looks like access will be compromised.” - IAS President-Elect @KNgure.
