Malawi has officially introduced Lenacapavir (LEN), becoming one of the few African countries to make the twice-yearly HIV prevention option available through public health facilities. The milestone expands HIV prevention choice and represents another important step toward ensuring people have prevention options that fit their lifestyles.
Following the launch, the Generational Empowerment Movement (GEM), one of AWPCAB’s partner organizations in Malawi, issued a statement welcoming the development while calling for urgent efforts to ensure equitable access across the country.
