SA wants to make the six-monthly #HIV prevention jab, #LEN, locally.

But there’s a catch: cheaper generics made elsewhere are expected from 2027.

Should people have to wait for a home-grown jab?

Our Aurum Institute op-ed explains why SA needs to do both.

The toll of #HIV continues: The world’s fastest-growing HIV epidemic is in Fiji.

Linked to crystal meth and “bluetoothing,” HIV cases in Fiji rose by 12-fold between 2010 and 2025 (1 in 60 adults are now living with HIV). In mid-September, its government declared a national emergency, per NPR. 🧪

Watching a presentation on broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) and their potential to fight #HIV felt like a fitting moment to take my HIV medication. Progress happens in research labs, in clinics and in everyday moments like this. The fight against HIV takes place on every front.

From 1 antibody to 3: the #bNAb field is moving toward combination approaches designed to provide broader, long-acting protection against #HIV.

Huub Gelderblom of #HVTN takes us through the pipeline.
