Nigeria begins using long-acting HIV prevention injection, Lenacapavir, to combat HIV epidemic.
Nigeria has received Lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention injection given twice yearly, marking a major step in its fight against the HIV epidemic.
The drug, available at $40 annually in Nigeria and 119 other low- and middle-income countries through voluntary licensing, offers a more convenient alternative to daily oral PrEP, improving adherence for high-risk populations.
Approved by the federal government and supported by the Global Fund, Lenacapavir is part of Nigeria’s strategy to reduce new infections and end HIV as a public health threat.
The rollout, led by the National HIV, Viral Hepatitis and STDs Control Programme, aims to expand access, strengthen prevention services, and address gaps like mother-to-child transmission.
