It is false to suggest—as some recently have—that forthcoming generics will make #lenacapavir available and affordable everywhere.

Welcome to 2 Shots Tuesday! TBFighters are taking this Tuesday and every Tuesday to put pressure on Gilead. We want you to join us in calling, emailing, writing letters, making memes, and many more ways to encourage Gilead to sell Lenacapavir for $40 to our friends at MSF and beyond.

Did you know #lenacapavir only requires 2 injections per year to prevent HIV? Did you know its manufacturer @gilead.com is withholding it from middle-income countries where HIV is on the rise, including ones that participated in clinical trials and paved the way for the drug’s approval?

YEZTUGO (lenacapavir) is a new injectable form of long-acting PrEP that only requires 2 doses per year to prevent HIV infection, and 3 million people are expected to get access to the drug by 2028 via The Global Fund. Sounds great, right? (1/5)

Happy Pride! This June and July we are studying the heroic activism of the ACT UP movement. HIV treatment is often critical to TB patients and the advocates in this book set the example for the work we all do today.
