Doing so would align with Kenyan and WHO guidelines, and ensure that more people have access to more efficacious and person-preferred treatments.

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.
