There are currently 200,000 people taking PrEP as an option in the US. The US Government believes that 1.2 million people would benefit from PrEP if they were at risk of becoming HIV positive and has a goal to reduce annual infections (38,000) by 75% by 2025 and 90% by 2030. While there are 38,000 new cases in the US annually, globally, there are 1.7M. In the US and the developed world, the challenge is largely a function of stigma that men who have sex with men experience; conversely, in places like Africa, the population most at risk is adolescents, girls and young women with a different set of challenges. With such a such a significant gap between those treated and those believed to benefit, there is a compelling opportunity for new innovation such as cabotegravir long-acting for prevention of HIV.

As the first injectable regimen for pre exposure prophylaxis for people at risk for HIV, this will require a significant change in approach by providers to integrate into their service delivery models.
