Accelerating the development, introduction, and scale-up of HIV prevention.
Access Bridge is purpose-built for this moment: a rapidly expanding pipeline, unprecedented demand for coordination, and a global push for African leadership in HIV prevention. With deep expertise, trusted platforms, and a decade of proven delivery, Access Bridge is uniquely positioned to steer the field through the next phase of innovation—ensuring that lifesaving prevention options reach those who need them, faster and more equitably than ever before.
Access Bridge is an independent, Africa-anchored organization advancing timely, sustainable, and equitable introduction of and access to HIV prevention and related health products. Incubated at AVAC and rooted in African leadership and global collaboration, Access Bridge leads a globally recognized portfolio of product introduction and access projects.
Our vision is a new era of timely, sustainable HIV prevention access in which individuals are empowered to choose and use the prevention methods that fit their lives—informed by African priorities, expertise, and partnerships.
With the HIV prevention pipeline expanding and a global "innovation pile-up" underway, Access Bridge provides the leadership, coordination, data, and actionable insights needed to translate innovation into real-world impact where it is needed most.
We work to ensure that HIV prevention products are timely, effective, and affordable—championing community-centred research and development. By gathering and applying user insights, we help shape PrEP programmes and inform the design of future prevention options.
We collaborate on the world's leading platforms for tracking PrEP introduction and scale-up—including PrEPWatch and the Global PrEP Tracker—providing real-time data that informs programs, policies, and investments across 150+ countries.
We identify gaps in prevention coverage and provide technical support, tools, and evidence to close them. Our advocacy promotes the integration of HIV prevention into broader sexual and reproductive health services, accelerating market entry and scale-up in priority regions.
We bring together donors, developers, implementers, and advocates to align introduction and delivery strategies. As a strategic adviser and connector, we help stakeholders navigate barriers to product scale-up while maximising opportunity and minimising duplication.
We compile, analyse, and share market and programmatic data to guide investments and strategies across the HIV prevention landscape. Our timely, actionable information reaches decision-makers and stakeholders when and where it matters most.
