Lenacapavir can change the course of HIV prevention, but only if all who need it can access it. With CHAI, Wits RHI and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Unitaid secured a US$40 annual price, with generics expected by 2027. A major step toward equity and ending HIV.

This is great news. To turn promise into public health impact, we must pair an affordable product with effective delivery and broad uptake to drive population-level impact. The world has the tools to stop the HIV epidemic. Now, we must act boldly to ensure everyone, everywhere, has access to them.
The @who.int’s strong recommendation of injectable lenacapavir for HIV prevention just weeks after first regulatory approval is a milestone. Unitaid is proud to have supported the work behind this guidance, delivered at record speed to meet urgent needs.

Brazil’s leadership shows what’s possible when political vision meets public health ambition. We need more leaders, in the Global North and in the Global South, who are ready to act with courage and urgency. #IAS2025

Ce vendredi 25 avril, c’est la journée internationale de lutte contre le paludisme. Plus de 263 millions de personnes ont contracté la maladie en 2023, dernière année pour laquelle des chiffres sont disponibles et près de 600 000 en sont morts. La communauté internationale s'était pourtant engagée à éliminer le paludisme d'ici à 2030, une maladie qui touche largement le continent africain. On sait que ça ne sera pas le cas et encore moins depuis que Donald Trump a sabré dans les dépenses d'aide internationale.
