Multipurpose Prevention Technologies: Opportunities and Challenges to Ensure Advancement of the Most Promising MPTs
MPTs present important reproductive health and general opportunities for addressing multiple indications in at-risk populations, particularly adolescent girls and young women in regions of the world where risk of HIV, other STIs and unintended pregnancies remains high. Given the current limited resources for expansion of MPT product development, ongoing strategic thinking and action is needed to optimize use of technical capacities, enhance collaborative approaches, identify resources to help fill gaps, and add rigor to the development process with the aim of advancing the most promising products.
