Abstract

Long-acting injectable PrEP, particularly cabotegravir (CAB-LA), has the potential to enhance HIV prevention in Asia, and was the topic of a roundtable held in Singapore in June 2023. Despite proven efficacy, CAB-LA's impact in Asia is hindered by regulatory, manufacturing, and cost barriers. There is an urgent need to address these challenges to expedite CAB-LA's introduction and scale-up, including collaborative research, streamlined regulatory processes, and increased manufacturing capacity. We call for better preparedness in long-acting PrEP in research and implementation science, product licensing and accessibility, and capacity readiness for scale-up, to meet the significant demand among key populations in Asia.

为在亚洲引入和推广长效艾滋病毒暴露前预防措施做好更充分的准备。

长效注射 PrEP，尤其是卡博替拉韦（CAB-LA），具有在亚洲加强艾滋病预防的潜力，这也是 2023 年 6 月在新加坡举行的圆桌会议的主题。尽管疗效已得到证实，但 CAB-LA 在亚洲的影响却受到监管、生产和成本障碍的阻碍。迫切需要应对这些挑战，以加快 CAB-LA 的引进和推广，包括合作研究、简化监管流程和提高制造能力。我们呼吁在长效 PrEP 的研究和实施科学、产品许可和可及性以及推广能力方面做好更充分的准备，以满足亚洲关键人群的巨大需求。
