Kenya has officially introduced Lenacapavir, a long-acting injectable drug designed to prevent HIV infection, marking a major step in the country’s fight against new cases.

The Ministry of Health confirmed that the new Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) option will give HIV-negative individuals protection for six months per dose, offering a powerful alternative to daily pills.

Kenya’s HIV prevalence stands at about 3.7 percent, with 1.34 million people on treatment. Alarmingly, 41 percent of new infections affect young people under 24.

The drug recently arrived at JKIA. Health officials said Lenacapavir, approved by the FDA and endorsed by WHO in 2025, blocks key stages of the virus life cycle.

Kenya has received 21,000 starter doses, funded by the Global Fund, with more supplies expected as rollout begins in 15 counties in March.

Eye care for everyone

Nature didn’t fail him—
it simply revealed the raw truth beneath the fur.

This is a hairless baboon.
Not a myth. Not a mutation. Just reality stripped bare.

Due to alopecia, a condition causing hair loss, this baboon stands exposed—his every muscle, scar, and wrinkle on display. Without his coat, he looks almost unfamiliar… yet no less powerful.

His skin tells a different story of the wild—one of survival without disguise.
Of strength without vanity.

Where others hide behind beauty,
he faces the world unmasked.

And perhaps that’s the bravest thing a creature can do.

In South Korea, the sea opens twice a year for just 1 hour. This is the miracle of Jindo, when thousands of people cross the sea on foot. In South Korea, a special tidal phenomenon causes the sea to open twice a year, allowing free passage between Jingo and Modo islands for a short period of time.
