LA agents should not be viewed as standalone interventions. Instead, they represent another opportunity to advance person-centred care. Discussions explored how long-acting prevention and treatment can be incorporated into broader service delivery models that offer flexibility, convenience and responsiveness to people's real-world needs.

Lessons from their CAB-LA rollout were instrumental in guiding LEN PrEP introduction through policy updates, health facility readiness, HCW training, community involvement, and regulatory readiness.

Meaningful engagement must begin early and continue throughout product introduction, service design and scale-up. If we are serious about impact, communities must remain at the centre of every stage of implementation.

Our collective responsibility now is to ensure that innovation is matched by access, that choice becomes a reality rather than an aspiration, and that the people we serve are empowered to be active partners in their own healthcare journey.
