- Our Accelerating Implementation of Multilevel-Strategies to Advance Long-Acting Injectables for Underserved Populations (ALAI-UP) helps people with sustained load suppression, or those who are newly diagnosed or new to HIV treatment. We can give you PrEP injections so you don’t have to take a pill every day.
