Summary
PAHO is revolutionizing HIV prevention in Latin America and the Caribbean by making lenacapavir — a powerful, twice-yearly injectable — available through its Regional Revolving Funds, thanks to a landmark deal with Gilead Sciences. With 140,000 new infections annually in the region, this game-changing drug offers near-perfect protection without daily pills, empowering people to choose what works for them. The partnership between governments, health agencies, and industry aims to accelerate access and sustainability, while Gilead’s collaboration with Brazil could soon enable local production for better pricing. PAHO is also supporting countries to tailor rollout strategies, expanding options from pills to injections to condoms — all part of the global mission to end HIV by 2030.
