This IAS 2023 session will review evidence from recent studies designed to inform CAB PrEP introduction in Asia; identify regional priorities for a CAB implementation science agenda; examine regional lessons from oral PrEP introduction and scale-up; highlight progress and lessons from preparing for CAB rollout in Africa; and introduce available policy and program planning tools and resources to help countries prepare for CAB rollout.

MOSAIC is heading to Durban, South Africa, for the 11th SA AIDS conference. This year’s conference theme: Act, connect, and end the epidemic. We invite conference attendees to join us for the following sessions.
