Join the AHF Global Public Health Institute for Latin America and the Caribbean and the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico (INSP) for a session presenting the report “Estimated Impact of Expanding Access to Lenacapavir in Latin America,” conducted by the INSP.
The study models the potential impact that broader access to lenacapavir—a long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) administered twice a year—could have in reducing new HIV infections in Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.
The session will bring together public health experts, researchers, civil society representatives, and health authorities to discuss how to ensure equitable access to lenacapavir and analyze the challenges countries in the region face to integrate it into their HIV programs.
