Between gray and red bars representing the study’s background HIV incidence and the arms randomized to receive oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) was white space filled only by a previously unimaginable number: zero. Zero infections over one year among the 2,134 cisgender adolescent girls and young women who received the novel long-acting injectable antiretroviral lenacapavir. (Michael Rose, 4/3)

Facility owners may be slacking off right after the inspector departs. (Margaret Morganroth Gullette, 4/3)
