A gamechanger in HIV prevention is here: Lenacapavir (LEN) is an injectable medication that only needs to be given twice a year and is nearly 100 percent effective. This breakthrough is especially valuable for people who face higher HIV risk, like those living in places where Doctors Without Borders teams operate.
Gilead, the manufacturer, sells LEN for $28,000 per patient annually in the US and severely restricts its supply to certain countries. Gilead also refuses to sell LEN directly to Doctors Without Borders.
A medical breakthrough like LEN should be available everywhere. Now.
We are calling on Gilead to reduce the price of LEN to less than $40 per person per year, increase its supply to match actual global demand, and sell LEN directly to Doctors Without Borders and other organizations.
HIV isn’t waiting – why is Gilead? Join our campaign calling for access to LEN for all!
