Thembi Xulu, CEO of South Africa’s National Aids Council, is rewriting the future of HIV response at the 26th International Aids Conference in Rio — turning sustainability into strategy. Since joining Sanac in 2020, she’s restructured HIV programs to be “country-owned,” earning global praise from UNAids. With a knack for big deals, she’s pushing to locally produce the game-changing HIV injection lenacapavir, bypassing pandemic-era supply snarls and ensuring affordability across Southern Africa. From medicine dreams to global health leadership, Xulu’s journey proves she’s not just reacting to crises — she’s building resilient, accessible solutions for the world.
