HUSSEIN(@PulseOrbit):🚨 UGANDA: Experts warn HIV prevention injection is NOT a vaccine Lenacapavir (twice-yearly injection) is a prevention tool, not a vaccine. Those who received the first dose must take the second on schedule to maintain protection. Uganda aims to cut 37,000 new infections yearly to under 10,000 by 2030, but compliance is critical. Supply shortages and high cost ($28,000 per dose) remain major challenges. Government relies on donations. Experts urge continued use of condoms, PrEP tablets, and other proven methods alongside the injection. High demand has already stretched limited stocks.
