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
Been having a stressful month or so, but today I am dog sitting a very sweet fluffy lady and am able to watch the first season of Doctor Who. All is right in the world, I am thriving ✨
I had to remake my favorite Danaher meme for the #2Shots$40Everywhere campaign. @gilead.com why is so expensive and why won't you sell it to those that want to buy?
I do not fully understand what I am doing but I played smush for the first time! hankgreen.com/smush · Jul 18 119 pts 🟨🥞🥞 🥞⭐🟨 🟩🟩🥞
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)
Made a bingo card for the #2Shots$40Everywhere campaign! Share how you've told @gilead.com to lower their prices and sell to MSF!
"TB is curable, but..." that's most sentences about TB. On Guimaras Island, PIH, the Government of the Philippines, John Green, and local partners are working to prove that TB elimination is possible when care reaches everyone. https://pihcanada.org/news/fight-against-tuberculosis-guimaras-island

celebrating the good parts of america today. if you don’t think there are any good parts, just look to all the stuff the fascists are desperate to stifle
At the Colonial Heritage Festival this weekend, we heard about how tuberculosis killed some involved in the revolution. I thought about how far we have come fighting infectious disease and yet @gilead.com prevents us from overcoming HIV by refusing to sell meds to MSF. #2Shots$40Everywhere #TBSky
Happy Almost-Shark-Week @gilead.com I have a humble request for you. Take a bite out of HIV by choosing to sell your HIV medication to MSF. #2Shots$40Everywhere. #PeopleOverProfits
I don't just make TBFighters bracelets, here are a handful of pride ones I've made recently to give out! I've already given at least 10 away and will give more out this weekend! Happy pride everyone!
Y'all are talking about the impact of community involvement but no one can reply to your posts. Listen to advocates, #2shots$40everywhere
At #IAS2025, we invited advocates to share the impact of community involvement in the #HIV landscape. Hear how, together, we’re helping shape the future of research and taking steps to end the epidemic.
So @tbfighters.org and @msfaccess.org are launching a campaign: #2Shots$40Everywhere. We're asking @gilead.com to 1. Sell LEN at cost, at $40 2. Make enough doses for everybody who needs them 3. Sell it directly to MSF and other orgs. tbfighters.org/hiv/#action 7/
Tell Gilead: Drop the price of long-acting PrEP!
A gamechanger in HIV prevention is now here: lenacapavir (LEN), an injection which only needs to be given twice a year and is nearly 100% effective in preventing HIV.
doctorswithoutborders.org
A drug exists that is nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV and only needs to be taken twice a year. It's called lenacapavir. But Gilead, the company that controls it, isn't making enough available for the world. We know Gilead can make lenacapavir more accessible.
Just checked the weather and it looks like it’s a good day to pester @gilead.com to make #lenacapavir available to all: tbfighters.org/hiv/ #2Shots$40Everywhere #PeopleOverProfits

PRIDE MONTH IS TUBERCULOSIS! #DFTBA
Alan Hart (1890–1962) helped transform tuberculosis care by developing the X-ray technique to identify cases, which saved countless lives. He also raised funds for TB research and for TB patients who couldn't afford treatment. 🌈🩺 Learn more: ow.ly/erkb50ZajnY. #LGBTQinSTEM #PrideMonth #Pride2026
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.
I am so excited for pride month! It is so soon and there is gonna be so many fun gay events to go to!
It's so unfair that cold medicine is fucking horse pills, like my throat already hurts I don't need to try to swallow a rock on top of that. I will be buying liquid cold medicine for the next time I get sick
The Project for Awesome 2026 grant recipients are in!🥳 We came together to watch, donate, and vote, which raised $4,216,069.19 for charities! Thank you for joining us again this year! #P4A2026
We're live! Dr. Sheila Davis, PIH CEO, kicks us off by discussing the Paul E. Farmer Maternal Center of Excellence (MCOE) and introducing our panel. Tune in: events.zoom.us/ej/AmAzdFQGa...
I'll be at the one today, come join me!
Lenacapavir is a new injectable drug made by Gilead that is highly effective at both treating and preventing HIV. But Gilead is barring non-profits from buying it. Join us & Médecins Sans Frontières Wed or Thurs to learn what we can do about this injustice. Zoom link at https://linktr.ee/tbfighters
There is TB everywhere for those with eyes to see
I am enjoying my vacation with my family a lot (grandparents and aunt too) BUT I will have a lot to talk to my therapist about when I get home 😂
