HIV made the news because yet another vaccine failed. The real story is the impact of COVID on HIV and in turn on COVID. Roll out of a new med worldwide, dolutegravir, delayed. Many missed appointments, refills, doses. Others weren't diagnosed.
This impacts not just HIV but COVID
The cascade of HIV care - learning diagnosis, starting treatment, returning for appointments and viral load testing, adherence, HIV viral suppression - has had interruptions over the past 1.5 years worldwide.
Worldwide we have seen drop offs in service delivery along this cascade of care.

There are always minor anomalies created by how data is collected and reported.

and then there's whatever happened on August 23rd in Uganda's case count reporting by JHU, FT, and Our World in Data
This did not reflect what Uganda's MOH reported on the 23rd, but there can always be a backlog of cases being identified and reported.
This is important, not just for Uganda, which was hit early by Delta, but also in best preparing for Delta in nearby countries, as the variant has been more recently forming surges elsewhere in East Africa.

Cote d'Ivoire has never been part a human Ebola epidemic. August 2021 has suddenly put Cote d'Ivoire in the middle of multiple contact tracing investigations. 1/n
In August 2021, a case was found in a traveler to Abidjan from Guinea, leading to investigation of contacts along route and in city. A new case is suspected in Burkina Faso and linked to an area as far as possible from Abidjan on northern Mali border Image
Hopefully the case in Burkina Faso is simply a suspected case which tests negative. This is quite possible. There are not enough characters to list here all the diagnoses that can look like Ebola - yellow fever, malaria, Lassa etc

Vaccine equity is not just about ensuring more doses. It's about more doses into more arms

Vaccines don't inject themselves. Funding for distribution and vaccination crucial

Vaccines that arrive free just before expiration will be feared to be a dump of what others do not want
Some areas where vaccination rates are the lowest are also those where substandard excess have been dumped as donations in the past. The protective response has long been jettisoning anything close to the expiration date.
Malawi has already incinerated 20K doses of thee vaccine that arrived less than 3 wks before expiry. WHO and AU had encouraged keeping doses as considered fine until July
