MSF wants pharma company to make HIV prevention injection affordable

The international medical humanitarian organisation is petitioning the independent global HIV company, Viiv Healthcare, to broaden access to the most effective form of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis that exists — it’s called cabotegravir and would help curb the spread of the virus.

CAB-LA is an injectable medicine that is taken every two months, and it is more effective than the PrEP pills, which need to be taken daily. “ViiV is not making the drug affordable or available in places where it is urgently needed. Around 1.5 million people were newly infected with HIV in 2021, which is far from the global target of reducing new annual infections to 370 000 by 2025,” said the MSF.

“The implementation of daily PrEP programmes in Africa have so far been hindered by inconsistent visits and attendance, and low adherence can be greatly overcome by the use of CAB-LA, which is more discreet and easier for people to stick to than the daily preventative pill,” added Amrani. While there are some pending submissions for the injection registration that government should prioritise for approval, MSF said the pharmaceutical company should do more to register the injection globally.
