- The US State Department announced today (9-30) that it will introduce the HIV-prevention drug lenacapavir in Uganda through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Administered just twice a year by injection, lenacapavir is an HIV-1 capsid inhibitor that offers sustained and more convenient protection against HIV infection in at-risk populations. Randomized controlled trials have found that 99% of people on lenacapavir remain HIV negative. Uganda is one of 10 high-burden HIV countries where the drug will be distributed through PEPFAR. Drugmaker Gilead has agreed to provide the drug at cost and to provide their intellectual property to generic manufacturers.

Infectious Information is a DK group for collecting diaries on all things infectious, both basic educational material and breaking news updates.
