An Exciting New Twice-yearly Option for HIV PrEP

“This podcast discusses the recent presentation of data for lenacapavir, a potent capsid inhibitor for HIV that was 100% effective in preventing HIV infection in cis-gender woman at risk for HIV. If approved, it will offer an exciting new option to prevent HIV which should dramatically improve our chances of reaching the goal of totally eliminating new HIV infections. The trial compared twice yearly injections of lenacapavir to both F/TAF and F/TDF in cis-gender woman and found similar effectiveness for F/TAF compared to F/TDF but there were zero new HIV infections in participants on lenacapavir.”.
