Alliance for the Elimination of HIV in the Americas

The document highlights three biomedical components essential to advancing HIV elimination. The first is the expansion of timely diagnosis through self-testing, community-based strategies, and integrated approaches, thereby reducing missed opportunities across health systems. The second is the programmatic scale-up of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), considering currently available tools and upcoming innovations, including long-acting formulations that can broaden prevention options. The third is optimizing antiretroviral treatment, with an emphasis on early diagnosis, rapid initiation, continuity of care, and sustained viral suppression.
