In 2019 it was expanded to the Nampula and Manica provinces and in July 2021 the PrEP Guideline was launched and the strategy expanded to the whole country. In 2021 WHO recommended that the dapivirine ring may be offered as an additional prevention choice for women at substantial risk of HIV and in 2022 that long-acting injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) may be offered as an additional prevention choice for people at substantial risk of HIV.
