Scientists and health experts in Kenya and globally have welcomed the introduction of a generic long-acting HIV injectable, citing its affordability and potential to expand access in low-income countries.

The injectable, Lenacapavir, is expected to play a key role in efforts to eliminate HIV, following UNAIDS’ call for countries to end the epidemic amid funding challenges.

The drug will be made available in at least 120 low-income countries.
