The Lancet HIV & The Lancet Global Health joint Series on Sustainable HIV Prevention in Africa

Despite remarkable gains in the HIV response, Sub-Saharan Africa still accounted for 59-60% of new HIV infections in 2024, underscoring persistent prevention gaps. As more HIV programs face disruption due to funding uncertainty, more than two dozen experts from across Africa and the globe come together in The Lancet HIV & The Lancet Global Health joint Series on Sustainable HIV Prevention in Africa to outline practical, evidence-based strategies for strengthening health systems’ capacity for sustainable HIV prevention while advancing broader health system goals. The series explores themes such as systemic integration of HIV prevention into public health systems; systematic community engagement; nationally led new product introduction; and leveraging digital health and artificial intelligence to expand reach and improve program efficiency.

The series calls for a decisive transformation in how HIV prevention is financed, integrated, and sustained across the continent.
