Dr Lilian Owoko, a postdoctoral fellow in the Re-imagining Reproduction project, has been invited to contribute as an author for a supplement of the Journal of the International AIDS Society (JIAS), titled ‘PEP in Africa: Prospects, Opportunities and Challenges’. The supplement will be launched in July 2025.

As part of this, Dr Owoko attended the South – South Learning Network (SSLN) Insight 2 Implementation Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) working group meeting held in Cape Town, South Africa, on 3-5 June 2024. The working group meeting brought together key stakeholders from five African countries – Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda and Zimbabwe – with the aim of sharing insights that would help strengthen the implementation, roll-out and use of PEP in these countries. Attendees also got an opportunity to update their knowledge on current debates about HIV/AIDS care and management in Africa.
