🎥 The full picture: Imagine if a critical and effective HIV prevention medicine (lenacapavir) was more widely available. But instead, Gilead has priced the medicine out of reach, restricts its supply to certain countries, and refused to sell it directly to MSF. So people called it out.
@gilead.com I’m not sure if you are aware, but it’s very difficult to end the HIV epidemic for “everyone, everywhere” when you are withholding long-acting PrEP from places where HIV is on the rise. Drop the price of #lenacapavir to $40 for all low- and middle-income countries!
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?
Hey @gilead.com we’re still waiting for #2Shots$40Everywhere. Make #lenacapavir accessible and affordable in all LMICs! Greed kills. #tbfighter @tbfighters.org
Hey @gilead.com! We'll take Yeztugo, aka #Lenacapavir, "Hot To Go" for #2Shots$40DollarsEverywhere! We're ready and waiting for you to put #PeopleOverProfits www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CBc...
Why can't we get Yeztugo? (Hot To Go parody)

Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and Peru when they were excluded from @gilead.com’s voluntary licensing for #lenacapavir even though they participated in the clinical trials that led to its approval as a form of long-acting PrEP.
There is no vaccine for HIV, but #lenacapavir is the closest thing we have. @gilead.com’s refusal to sell lenacapavir to Doctors Without Borders (@msf.org) is morally wrong and needs to be called out!! #2Shots$40Everywhere #tbfighter @tbfighters.org
@gilead.com when you ask them to prioritize people over profits and beg them to sell their lifesaving HIV drug #lenacapavir directly to Doctors Without Borders @msf.org
Hey @gilead.com! Limiting access to life-saving medication and refusing to sell to @msf.org isn’t very “Everyone, Everywhere” of you. Reduce the price of long-acting PrEP! #lenacapavir #2Shots$40Everywhere #tbfighter @tbfighters.org
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)
