✍️@Guardian | Lenacapavir, twice-yearly HIV prevention injection could cost just $25 per patient a year, say researchers—yet may be priced at 1000x more. This medicine could help end the HIV pandemic. We urge Gilead Sciences: Do the right thing. Make it affordable. Save lives.

The FDA has approved #Lenacapavir 🙌 BUT Gilead Sciences has announced a US list price of $28,218 USD per person per year. This remains unaffordable. We urge Gilead to do the right thing. Drop the price so the world has a shot to end AIDS. unaids.org/en/resources/p…
