.@pivotalventures, an organization founded by Melissa French Gates, has announced it’s pledging $1 billion to advance women’s health globally over the next two years. This landmark investment recognizes of the impact felt by families and communities when women are truly thriving.

We were so inspired to see the advances in #MPT research by early-stage #researchers at these conferences!

[CAMI Health @CAMIhealth]

Last week, at #HIVR4P2024 in Peru, Nelly Mugo of @KEMRI_Kenya and Lisa Haddad of the @Pop_Council also shared research highlighting the need for choice when it comes to contraception and prevention of #HIV and other #STIs, as no single product will appeal to every person.

Earlier this fall, @CAMIhealth Dir @BethanyYoungHol traveled to Kenya for the #Innovation in #Contraceptive Research Workshop, organized by CONRAD & @KEMRI_Kenya, to present on MPTs, incl @Initiative4MPTs, to expand access to singular HIV/STI prevention & contraception products.

[Population Council @Pop_Council]

At #HIVR4P2024, our colleague @SanyuktaMathur is presenting findings from a national survey conducted in the U.S. on women's preferences for a nonhormonal #MPTs vaginal ring.

@HIVR4Px @iasociety #CBRPC

[Population Council @Pop_Council]

Expanding options may increase demand for prev products overall. Key considerations for intro inc.: smaller #DualPreventionPill (#DPP) size & user-friendly packaging + counseling & support on dual prevention for effective use. #HIVprevention @SanyuktaMathur #HIVR4P2024 #CBRPC

[Population Council @Pop_Council]

We implemented the first set of studies examining acceptability of any MPT product (as proxy for the #DualPreventionPill that is currently in development). @SanyuktaMathur #CBRPC

[Population Council @Pop_Council]

We are pleased to announce at #HIVR4P2024 that a 3-month #DapivirineVaginalRing will be as effective as the 1-month ring.

Findings suggest the 3-month ring could offer women a more affordable & convenient option, expanding #HIVprevention choices: https://t.co/WSxr7X9a29

In-person collab is vital for advancing #HIVprevention, bringing together global collaborators in the @USAID @HIVMATRIX project working together to inform and accelerate early R&D for new HIV prevention products. CC: @ctiexchange, @PHIdotorg @KEMRI_Kenya

[CAMI Health @CAMIhealth]

Extremely inspiring was the opportunity to engage with African and other scientists from around the globe working on innovative approaches to HIV prevention, including #MPTs that combine #HIV prevention with prevention of other #STIs and #contraception.

[CAMI Health @CAMIhealth]

@CAMIhealth team members @BethanyYoungHol & Sheryl Verbitski are still feeling energized from their recent visit to Kenya for the 2024 @HIVMATRIX Investigators Meeting in Nairobi.
