The Lenacapavir injection that prevents HIV is finally in Nigeria. This is a massive win for HIV prevention.
But Emeka and Nkechi, here are a few things you should know before you get it:
1. It does not prevent pregnancy, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, or Hepatitis B. So while you’re protected from HIV, you’re not immune to other STIs. You still need to use your condom abeg.
2. You MUST test negative for HIV before taking it. If you take it while secretly infected, the virus can mutate and become highly resistant to future treatments.
3. It is strictly for PREVENTION (PrEP), it is not a cure for HIV.
4. The ₦58,000 price is a subsidized target. Please, do not go and buy fake from a random unverified chemist because you saw it’s cheaper.
