原文原文 / Original TextThe six-monthly anti-HIV jab, which prevents HIV through sex, is now stocked for free at 360 government clinics in six of South Africa's provinces. So how does the jab work, how do you know if you need it, and where can you find it? We've got you covered with answers to 13 questions.
The six-monthly anti-HIV jab, which prevents HIV through sex, is now stocked for free at 360 government clinics in six of South Africa's provinces.
The provinces are Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, North West and the Western Cape, according to the health department's list of clinics. The Northern Cape, Limpopo and the Free State will get jabs next year, when cheaper generic versions of LEN become available and South Africa starts rolling out the shot on a larger scale.

At least one generic drug maker, Hetero in India , has applied to register their product with South Africa's Health Products Regulatory Authority, Sahpra, CEO Boitumelo Semete-Makokotlela told Bhekisisa. Semete-Makokotlela says this will be a priority review which will be completed within 180 working days (around eight months), in this case by the end of January 2027.
Lenacapavir , in short referred to as LEN, is almost foolproof in protecting HIV-negative people against the virus, and only has to be taken twice a year.

If enough HIV-negative people take the shot — between one and two million HIV-negative people need to take LEN at least once per year between now and 2043 — Wits modelling scientists predict that South Africa could stop new infections fast enough to end Aids as a big public health problem in 18 years' time.
