"Despite more than 40 years of responding to HIV and important breakthroughs in primary and secondary prevention, the rate of new infections is stuck at 35,000 per year, and racial disparities are worsening. Similar failures were apparent in the response to mpox last summer, with the most vulnerable communities once again bearing the brunt of a new viral threat. It is not too late to reverse course, but doing so will take political will and commitment. A new approach to accessing HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) could provide a blueprint for responding to other public health emergencies."
