Webinar: Beyond Policy – Lenacapavir and Real Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services

Lenacapavir has the potential to reshape HIV prevention, but only if access, equity and implementation remain at the centre of the rollout.

The discussion brought together Dr Zoe Duby, Professor Sakhumzi Mfecane, and Jacqueline Pienaar, who shared valuable insights on South Africa’s readiness for rollout, expanding access in rural communities, and ensuring HIV prevention reaches populations that are too often left behind.

A key takeaway from the conversation was that scientific innovation alone is not enough. Successful implementation will depend on strong health systems, community engagement, equitable access, and programmes that respond to the diverse needs of the people they are designed to serve.
