Melisa is among the first young women in Eswatini to receive lenacapavir (LEN), a twice-yearly injectable form of PrEP that is nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV.
In less than a year after regulatory approval, the @GlobalFund & partners have delivered LEN to 10 of the world’s highest HIV-burden countries, with 24 countries expected to receive it by the end of the year.
Melisa’s story highlights a turning point in global health equity – bringing a major HIV prevention innovation to high- and low-income countries simultaneously. #AIDS2026

Melisa compte parmi les premières jeunes femmes en Eswatini à bénéficier du lénacapavir – un produit de PrEP injectable à administrer deux fois par an et efficace à près de 100 % pour prévenir le VIH.
Moins d’un an après son approbation réglementaire, le @GlobalFund et ses partenaires ont déployé le lénacapavir dans 10 des pays où la charge de morbidité du VIH est la plus élevée au monde. Ce nombre devrait atteindre 24 pays d’ici à la fin de l’année.
Le parcours de Melisa met en lumière un tournant pour l’équité en santé mondiale : une innovation majeure en matière de prévention du VIH est introduite au même moment dans les pays à revenu élevé et dans ceux à revenu faible. #AIDS2026

The @GlobalFund welcomes this important milestone. Expanding access to new HIV prevention tools through more manufacturers making these products available is critical to accelerating equitable access and giving countries more options to protect those at greatest risk.
We're grateful to everyone whose collaboration & commitment have helped make this progress possible.
Together, we can help ensure that innovation reaches the people who need it most.
Today we announced our initial post-approval access plans for our investigational HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We are accelerating our access planning to help ensure that, if approved by the regulatory agency, this HIV prevention option can quickly reach those who need it in low- and middle-income countries.
