Lenacapavir just landed in Bulawayo as a game-changer for HIV prevention, but health officials are already flagging the gaps it leaves wide open for other STIs.

Bulawayo health officials back Lenacapavir rollout
[LIST]
[*]City of Bulawayo Health Services director Dr Edwin Sibanda-Mzingwane praised the injectable PrEP.
[*]Lenacapavir shields against HIV but leaves other STIs completely uncovered.
[*]Drug-resistant gonorrhoea is already popping up globally, and that has Sibanda-Mzingwane spooked.
[*]Ditching condoms over HIV coverage could spark a whole new public health mess.

[LIST]
[*]Abstinence, faithfulness, and condom use remain solid weapons in the fight.
[*]Condoms still pull double duty against HIV, pregnancy, and STIs.
[*]Lenacapavir fits into a combo prevention strategy, not a standalone fix.
[*]Dropping condoms entirely would be a pretty reckless call, per officials.
