#Obesity is a chronic, and complex disease requiring lifelong care.

People living with obesity, when medically advised, may use GLP-1 therapies.

The effect of these medications is enhanced when combined with physical activity, a healthy diet, and long-term follow ups.

With Lenacapavir or LEN, a new drug WHO recommends to protect people at risk of #HIV instead of taking daily pills, people can now get injections every 6 months.

At the time where funding for HIV is limited, this new drug could mean fewer new infections & more lives saved.
