Reported Shortage of Long-Acting HIV Prevention Injection Raises Concern

HIV prevention advocates and sex workers are raising concerns over reported shortages of a long-acting PrEP injection in some locations. The injection helps HIV-negative people reduce their risk of infection without relying on daily prevention tablets. Users who depend on scheduled doses fear that disruptions could leave them without consistent protection. Advocates are calling for faster distribution of available stock and stronger supply planning. Health stakeholders say uninterrupted access to PrEP remains important for reducing new HIV infections among people at higher risk of exposure. The report does not specify the locations affected or when fresh supplies will arrive.
