------------------------------------------------------------
February 23, 2021

Dear Advocate,

Read on for a roundup of new resources on AVAC.org and PrEPWatch.org!

It’s one year into the COVID-19 pandemic, and the pace of advocacy for many people has only accelerated. In this time, when vast quantities of information—good and bad—must be sorted and priorities set, AVAC has been generating resources to help you keep up-to-date and to inform your advocacy.

Funding for HIV Prevention R&D
The 16th annual analysis of funding trends in HIV Prevention R&D is out with 2019 data, and it can all be found on a newly launched website: www.hivresourcetracking.org. The annual report is a collaboration among AVAC, IAVI and UNAIDS, and the website includes 20 years of funding trends.

These two resources will help you understand the trends in PrEP uptake, and keep you up-to-date on PrEP initiations around the world, which is fast approaching 1 million but still well below global targets.
