Discovery of the day
A modelling study from The Lancet Global Health demonstrates that providing HIV pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis through online pharmacies in western Kenya is a cost-effective strategy that can avert substantial HIV infections, even with low population coverage. The analysis revealed that post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) was responsible for most of the intervention’s health benefits, driven by the high observed demand for PEP compared with PrEP in the pilot study. For a public health researcher developing novel prevention platforms, this finding offers actionable evidence that leveraging private retailers and digital supply chains can efficiently scale HIV prevention in low-resource settings, which is particularly critical in an era of shrinking donor funding.
