Thursday webinar: CD4 Testing: Addressing the Weakest Link in the HIV Cascade
All, please join us for this important webinar on CD4 monitoring: CD4 testing is the gateway to advanced HIV disease (AHD) care 〞 critical for assessing immune status, guiding clinical management, and identifying the risk of opportunistic infections. While CD4 testing was once the mainstay of national HIV programs, it became neglected in the HIV response as viral load became more widely available. According to the latest CHAI HIV Market Report, the supply of CD4 tests will fall short of global needs, ranging from 1.6 to 3.9 million tests every year for the next four years. As a cornerstone of AHD management, not meeting CD4 testing needs could risk leaving people living with AHD without timely and life-saving care. Date: May 8, 2025 Time: 2 - 3:30 p.m. SAST and CET | 8 - 9:30 a.m. ET Register for the webinar Join this webinar to learn about: WHO recommendations for CD4 testing The current state of low CD4 coverage and usage Examples of successful national advocacy and accountability Speakers: Patricia Asero Ochieng, Team Leader, Dandora Community AIDS Support Association (DACASA) Ana Moore, Associate Director, Advanced HIV Disease, Clinton Health Access Initiative Agrata Sharma, Associate, Center for Global Health Policy and Politics, O*Neill Institute Edna Tembo, Executive Director, Coalition of Women Living with HIV and AIDS (COWLHA), Malawi Moderated by: Olayide Akanni, Executive Director, Journalists Against AIDS (JAAIDS) Nigeria If you were forwarded this email, sign up for our listserv.

interrupciones de tratamiento ARV en Peru y Bolivio
Por Richard Stern Recien he leido de interrupciones de tratamiento en Peru y Bolivia. Esto es inaceptable para las Personas que viven con el virus. Hay un precedente en estos dos pa赤ses que hace unos 20 a?os la Comisi車n Interamericano de derechos humanos (CIDH) aprobo medidas cautelares indicando que los gobiernos de Bolivia y Peru tenia que suministrar los ARVs a las personas que firmaron la petici車n y los pa赤ses cumplieron finamente. Este tambien implico que los paises ten赤a que suministrar los ARVs a todxs la personas con VIH en estos y seis otros pa赤ses que tambien solicitaron medidas cauteleras. Yo no se si esta decisi車n se puede utilizar para argumentar que la interrupci車n en Peru y Bolivia est芍 en violacion de decisiones de la comisi車n pero creo que vale el esfuerzo para averiguar. Si solamente firma una sola persona es suficiente para presentar el caso y muy importante hacer la referencia a las decisiones tomado por la Comisi車n en estos a?os anteriores. -- Richard Stern rastern246@... 506 8390 5213

Organizaciones de Sociedad Civil y L赤deres Sociales Exigen Acceso Asequible a Lenacapavir para Combatir el VIH/SIDA en Latinoam谷rica y el Caribe ?
Organizaciones de Sociedad Civil y L赤deres Sociales Exigen Acceso Asequible a Lenacapavir para Combatir el VIH/SIDA en Latinoam谷rica y el Caribe Enero 15 de 2025 Latinoam谷rica, enero 15 - En un esfuerzo por garantizar el acceso equitativo a medicamentos innovadores y efectivos para prevenir y tratar el VIH/SIDA, m芍s de 94 organizaciones de la sociedad civil y 13 l赤deres independientes han unido fuerzas para solicitar a los gobiernos y entidades relevantes de Latinoam谷rica y el Caribe a priorizar el acceso asequible a lenacapavir, un medicamento inyectable desarrollado por Gilead con una eficacia del 99% en la prevenci車n de la transmisi車n del VIH. Acciones realizadas En el marco de esta iniciativa, el pasado 18 de diciembre se dirigieron cartas a los presidentes de 22 pa赤ses de Am谷rica Latina, enfatizando la importancia de asegurar el acceso a este medicamento vital. Se han enviado adem芍s cartas a los ministerios de salud de Colombia, Per迆 y Chile. Contexto sobre Lenacapavir Lenacapavir ha demostrado ser un avance revolucionario en la prevenci車n del VIH, pero su acceso est芍 restringido por las patentes y su alto costo, estimado en $42,000 d車lares anuales para las dos dosis requeridas. A pesar de que Gilead ha otorgado licencias voluntarias para la producci車n de versiones gen谷ricas en 120 pa赤ses, la mayor赤a de los pa赤ses de Latinoam谷rica y el Caribe han sido excluidos de este acuerdo. Expertos han estimado que una versi車n gen谷rica podr赤a costar tan solo $40 d車lares, lo que subraya la urgencia de abordar estas barreras de acceso. Richard Stern, experto en el tema sostiene: ※M芍s de dos millones de personas viven con VIH en Am谷rica Latina, y un 20% de ellas no reciben tratamiento. El a?o pasado se reportaron 130,000 nuevos casos y las cifras parecen aumentar cada a?o. Existe la posibilidad de prevenci車n por medio de pastillas pero seg迆n estimados, 迆nicamente un 15 a 20% de la poblaci車n meta est芍n recibiendo el tratamiento de PrEP en pastillas, y existen problemas de adherencia. Por esto es importante que productos de larga duraci車n como lenacapavir sean implementados para lograr resultados efectivos para empezar a bajar el n迆mero de nuevos casos cada a?o." Obligaciones de los Estados Las organizaciones recuerdan que los Estados tienen el deber de garantizar el derecho a la salud, incluyendo la prevenci車n y tratamiento de enfermedades como el VIH/SIDA. Esto implica el uso de las flexibilidades previstas en acuerdos internacionales como el ADPIC y la promoci車n de licencias obligatorias para superar las barreras de propiedad intelectual. Adem芍s, se insta a los gobiernos a fomentar la producci車n regional de medicamentos y a consolidar marcos regulatorios que faciliten el registro y distribuci車n de tecnolog赤as de inter谷s p迆blico. Llamado a la Acci車n Regional Las organizaciones firmantes hacen un llamado urgente a los gobiernos de la regi車n para: Publicar convocatorias de inter谷s a fabricantes locales e internacionales para producir y suministrar lenacapavir a precios accesibles. Promover la articulaci車n regional para consolidar una demanda competitiva que facilite el acceso a medicamentos innovadores. Consolidar y fortalecer marcos regulatorios que faciliten el acceso oportuno a las tecnolog赤as de inter谷s p迆blico. Un enfoque regional no solo contribuir芍 a la erradicaci車n del VIH/SIDA, sino tambi谷n a fortalecer la preparaci車n y respuesta frente a futuras amenazas de salud p迆blica en la regi車n. ?Qui谷nes apoyan? Esta iniciativa coordinada por Medicinas para la Gente, cap赤tulo Latinoam谷rica, ITPC LATCA, Public Citizen y Personas unidas para la PrEP, cuenta con el respaldo de 94 organizaciones de la sociedad civil y 13 l赤deres independientes, quienes reiteran su compromiso con el derecho a la salud y el acceso equitativo a los avances cient赤ficos. Las organizaciones firmantes har芍n seguimiento a las respuestas de sus gobiernos, buscando asegurar respuestas concretas; as赤 mismo, hacen un llamado a los organismos de cooperaci車n internacional como OPS y ONUSIDA para impulsar acciones colectivas que promuevan el acceso universal a medicame

ONE STEP MORE IN ACCESO TO ARV INJECTABLES EN LATIN AMERICA
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT December 14, 2024 From: Luz Marina Umbasia Dear compa?eros, compa?eras and compa?eres, With immense gratitude for your support, we would like to share the next step in our collective campaign for access to lenacapavir in our communities. This effort has demonstrated the strength of regional unity and the commitment of more than 100 organizations that have already petitioned Gilead for the inclusion of generic versions of this essential drug. Today, we are going one step further: directly addressing our governments to demand the enlistment for the implementation of compulsory licenses, thus ensuring timely and affordable access to lenacapavir and other injectable ARVs as part of the fulfillment of the right to health, Universal Access and the achievement of the SDGs. The date set for simultaneous submission to governments is December 18, 2024, we will be remembering that day, just like the last letter. This letter reaffirms our position that medicines, especially those developed with the participation of our communities, are public goods and should not be limited by trade barriers. We thank you for your dedication and commitment. We are confident that together we will make significant progress in defending our rights and ensuring innovative treatments for those who need them most. We look forward to your comments or any support you may need for this process through this media.

IAS FIFTH RESEARCH CONFERENCE FOR PREVENTION OF HIV BEGINS IN LIMA PERU
5 October,, 2023 Angela Villon, sex worker Peru: ※for us it is a mockery, that there will be a prevention congress in Peru, but from the sex workers' organizations we do not have condoms or PrEP: no public policies on prevention in the context of violence, the shortage of medicines, the lack of government, the disarticulation of the peer-to-peer strategy§ And what will happen in the conference in reaction to the horrible price structure implemented by Gilead pharmaceuticals for its important new drug Lenacapavir? Will we accept $40,000 a year for this product in most of Latin America? ################ IAS fifth research conference for Prevention of HIV begins in Lima By Richard Stern* (version en Espanol https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ahiavGnqymGsN6VO7Cq9nlPPj4HzoxY3/view?usp=sharing) The International AIDS Society*s fifth HIV research for prevention conference is taking place in Lima Peru from October 6th to 10th. In this link is the entire annd very comprehensive conference program https://programme2024.hivr4p.org/ And many of the presentations are indeed focused on the situation in the Latin America, featuring well known advocates, scholars and International Agency officials from around the region. That the conference is occurring in Peru will hopefully focus attention on the fact that Latin America is way behind other parts of the world in access to PrEP and that the yearly number of new HIV diagnosis is still increasing at a rate of about 8% per year in spite of al the information available about prevention strategies. According to UNAIDS statistics roughly 120,000 new cases were reported in the region in 2023. The following table illustrates the gravity of the situation.

(These numbers may not reflect increases in 2024) The number of newly diagnosed cases of HIV in Peru has remained stable from during the past three years between 9000 and 11,000 cases, with no reduction due to prevention interventions. The question for this very promising conference to address is that in spite of being one of the dozens of comprehensive events, workshops, webinars, and meetings held over the past several years in Latin America, will it really impact on the numbers reflected above in the table? And, if so how will it insure that this occurs. The amount of available information about combined prevention worldwide and in the region is huge, and this conference will certainly add a great deal of additional information. But will this translate finally into an increase of availability of PrEP in the context of combined prevention after so much previous futility? Will demonstrations and other forms of activism take place in the conference against the horribly inequitable price structure for the drug Lenacapavir recently implemented by Gilead pharmaceuticals, where the cost in most countries in the region remains at over

R4P conference in Lima - intro and links and access
Dear members The HIV R4P prevention conference is being held this week in Lima, Peru. I am only reporting online from the UK but here is a short intro with a few links. Big news will include lenacapavir where efficacy will be amazing but everyone will be focussed on access. Pretend this is a vaccine but one that it is actually more effective - 2 shots a year with no issues of vaccine hesitancy - and the AMP studies showed people will come back for injections. But instead of urgent and exceptional access, it is just being treated like the next regular drug. 40 years of vaccine research should have included a plan for what to do when it arrives and this is the plan we need now. https://i-base.info/htb/48961 HIV R4P 2024: Introduction Simon Collins, HIV i-Base The 5th IAS HIVR4P (Research for Prevention) conference is being held in Lima, Peru from 6每10 October 2024, and also as a hybrid meeting. i-Base is only able to attend the virtual conference this year and so reports will be limited to this perspective. Highlights will include new results of lenacapavir 6-monthly injections as PrEP in cis gay men, transgender and gender-diverse people in a large international phase 3 study. Efficacy and safety will be remarkable 每 with results likely better than a vaccine 每 but access issues will dominate the discussions. Lenacapavir is actually more effective than an HIV vaccine, with better protection from two shots a year and no issues of hesitancy. The urgency of global access demands an exceptional approach. It is easy to report optimistic and exciting news from R4P but the timeline for broad access to many new drugs for prevention is often years. As background, we include an article by Richard Stern that highlights extremely low access to oral PrEP across Latin America, including in countries that took part in the original iPrEX study from 2010 that led to US approval in 2012. Peru was included in iPrEX and yet with a population of over 33 million and almost 100,000 people living with HIV, less than 1300 people used oral PrEP in 2023. This report includes that last year, among 430 million people in 16 countries, only 46,000 people were using oral PrEP. Many of the presentations will focus on access and uptake to the two-monthly intramuscular injections of long-acting cabotegravir, which is now technically approved in a growing number of countries, including the UK, but where access is still extremely limited, including in the UK. R4P is also likely to include an impressive range of pipeline formulations and alternative ways of delivering HIV treatments to prevent HIV infection. Often these gel, patch, injection, douche, pill, ring and film formulations are being developed by independent researchers as well as the companies that make the active drugs. Sometimes these are combined with contraceptives. Access has also been raised as an issue for the conference which although rightly taking place for the first time in Peru, is being held exclusively in English, and without translations to Spanish or Portuguese, limiting participation from the host and neighbouring countries. The conference website includes open access to the programme but not to other conference material until after the conference. https://programme2024.hivr4p.org Abstract are published as an open-access supplement in JIAS. https://doi.org/10.1002/jia2.26351 Hopefully some sessions will be prioritised for immediate open access, rather than being held behind a paywall for several months as happened with the IAS AIDS conference held in Munich in July.
