18 Sep The HIV Prevention Choice Manifesto For Women and Girls In Africa
The HIV Prevention Choice Manifesto is a collection
of voices of African women and girls in all their
diversity, feminists and HIV prevention advocates
across Southern and Eastern Africa who are united
in calling for continued political and financial
support for HIV prevention choice.
Biomedical HIV prevention is at a historic turning
point, but only if countries and funders heed
evidence-based demands that programs must
emphasize choice – not individual products – and
that research and development of new prevention
options continues.
For the first time in the history of the HIV epidemic,
it is possible to build a prevention program
centered around choice – offering an array of
options, including oral PrEP, the Dapivirine vaginal
ring, injectable Cabotegravir and condoms, with
straightforward language about risks and benefits,
as well as supportive counseling in selecting
options that meet an individual’s needs.
