THE RACE IS ON | The push for generic lenacapavir is gaining traction. What does this mean for access to the HIV prevention jab? Catch up on this and more in our latest newsletter: tinyurl.com/yb5m4z5c

South Africa is making progress in TB testing, but the gaps are still clear. Between April 2025 and January 2026, 2.53 million people were tested, just 60.8% of the national target and 135,137 people were diagnosed with TB.
The data shows a worrying pattern: men, especially those aged 25–34, are less likely to get tested but more likely to have TB. This means the people most at risk are still being missed.
@TBAC_sa's 2026 State of TB in SA report unpacks these trends and highlights why South Africa needs smarter, more targeted approaches to reach those left behind.

Good news: a generic version of lenacapavir for HIV prevention has been FDA-approved. More manufacturers can help lower costs and increase access, bringing this game-changing innovation within reach of the countries and communities that need it most.
Innovation saves lives only when access follows. #UnitedToEndAIDS

TB in rural communities isn’t just a health crisis, it’s a social and economic battle. Delays in diagnosis and poor access weaken TB care. A study in rural KZN found most got treatment, but some stopped due to finances or feeling better.

me as a family elder
"soo what is the methodological justification for adopting non probability purposive sampling over a probability based sampling strategy drawn from an established sampling frame, given the implications for selection bias"
Let me explain a beautiful custom from my family when we do umbulelo (thanksgiving).
On the day of the function, before anything else, we have iBhunga. iBhunga is a briefing session attended by family members ONLY. No community, just family.
In iBhunga, you as the person doing the thanksgiving must explain the REASONS for doing it. You must account. You must give a full report of what you are thanking for.
In my case, I had to stand before my family and explain my PhD - its objectives, its findings 😂😂. Imagine presenting your PhD twice! Then I had to explain about the private clinic, its purpose and the journey.
Only after you have satisfied the family in iBhunga, do you then go to the house and invite the community. It is then the family elders who explain to the community what the thanksgiving is about. You don't explain to the community, your elders do.
Family first. Community after. That's how we do umbulelo.

Antiretroviral treatment helps people living with HIV stay healthy. Taking treatment as prescribed can help achieve an undetectable viral load, preventing sexual transmission of HIV (U=U).
Know your options. Visit your nearest clinic for guidance. @HealthZA

Dr Vuyelwa Mashalaba (1946 - 1996) was a South African anti-apartheid activist, medical doctor, and key figure in the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) and the Azanian People's Organization (AZAPO). As the first female Secretary of the South African Student Organization (SASO) from 1970–1971, she played a crucial role in establishing the movement. She was elected as a secretary during the inaugural conference of SASO in July 1969 and served as the General Secretary from 1970 to 1971. While studying at the Wentworth medical school (University of Natal Non-European section), she was part of the small group of black students who sat on the Students' Representative Council (SRC) at the previously white Howard College. She played a vital role in introducing other prominent activists to the Black Consciousness Movement. Credit: SAHO, Teleki E Teleke
