BREAKTHROUGH IN HIV PREVENTION Kenya welcomes Lenacapavir — a 6-monthly injectable PrEP with up to 99.9% efficacy. Patriciah Jeckoniah, Program Manager Advocacy, Partnerships & Resource Mobilisation at LVCT says the long-acting drug could significantly improve HIV prevention, especially for youth and key populations. By reducing clinic visits and eliminating daily pills, Lenacapavir supports Kenya’s goal of zero new HIV infections by 2030. #HealthNews #HIVPrevention #Lenacapavir #PublicHealthKE #PrEP #LVCTHealth #Kenya #EndHIV2030 #InjectablePrEP #HIVAwareness #ScienceToPolicy #IAS2025

Why Kenya must take charge of its own HIV funding. At the IAS 2025 Conference in Kigali, Prof. Kenneth Ngure, President and Director of the IAS Conference, delivered a clear message: Global HIV financing is declining. Local leadership is now a necessity, not a choice. 🧬 From groundbreaking tools like Lenacapavir and PrEP to integration of HIV care into broader health systems, the science is strong. But science alone isn’t enough. 💡 Key takeaways: – Domestic funding is critical to sustain progress – Integrating HIV services can reduce costs and stigma – Community pharmacies & mobile clinics can improve access – Media must bridge science and public understanding 📢 Kenya has led before. It must lead again. This is not just a medical issue, it’s a policy, equity, and survival issue. #IAS2025 #ScienceJournalism #HIVPrevention #KenyaHealth #Lenacapavir #EndHIV #UequalsU #PublicHealth #HealthEquity #HIVScience #HIVFunding #GlobalHealth #PrEP #AfyaNiJuu #NairobiToKigali
