Introduce and implement Multipurpose Prevention Technologies (MPTs) and the product candidates currently in development for prevention of HIV, other STIs and/or unintended pregnancies3. Describe the Initiative for MPTs (IMPT) and its publicly-available tools for tracking the MPT product development pipeline, while summarizing the current pipeline profile, recent scientific breakthroughs, and the potential impact of MPTs for women around the world4. Outline next steps for key stakeholders in STI prevention and related health fields, with a focus on tangible priority actions that will help bring MPTs to the hands of end-users
