@cbsmornings: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the drug lenacapavir as a twice-yearly injection to prevent HIV. The drug, called Yeztugo from company Gilead Sciences, was approved Wednesday based on data from clinical trials that showed 99.9% of participants who received it remained HIV negative.

Just remember that most of the answers to our problems already exist. And those answers are always stopped by corporate greed

28k sounds crazy but the sticker price for my current daily PrEP pill is 2k a month.

This is amazing but what’s the point if it’s not accessible to 99.99% of the population? $28,000 a year every year…..

So only the rich can avoid HIV prevention, when they’re not the group susceptible

What’s the point of prevention if people can’t afford it 🙄 if insurance doesn’t cover it

The price will eventually come down, guys. This is just how it works. Ozempic is 33% cheaper now than it was in 2021. Celebrate the breakthrough and give it some time to get distributed!

PReP has existed for a while in Mexico and it's covered under universal healthcare. Profilaxis preexposición as well as post exposition and antiretrovirals for those already infected
