Mexico approved lenacapavir for HIV prevention: a PrEP shot given every six months instead of a daily pill. COFEPRIS authorized it on Sept 24, 2026, after the PURPOSE 1 and 2 trials showed very high effectiveness. It still requires medical evaluation and regular HIV testing. Source: COFEPRIS

Ohne Tempo, Masse und gerechten Zugang bleibt #Lenacapavir (#LEN) nur aufregende Wissenschaft - mit ihnen kann LEN ein entscheidender Moment für die #HIV- und #Aids- Prävention werden.

Decades of NIH-funded research made HIV one of the best-understood viruses ever studied. And in turn, one of the greatest science success stories in our lifetime. THIS is your tax dollars at work.

But, science funding is being dramatically cut, preventing further progress for a HIV vaccine.

👻It’s spooky season, and Gilead is still ghosting MSF. 👻

For more than a year MSF has been trying to buy lenacapavir. We aren’t asking for a donation. We want to pay. Gilead won’t sell to us. We remain confused by this ghoulish refusal.

Gilead's Q3 report just came out. Some spooky facts 🔽(1/4)

Im Rahmen von #HIV- Programmen haben bereits 125.000 Menschen in Afrika mit einer #Lenacapavir- #PrEP zum Schutz vor HIV begonnen. Mit den Generika hofft man, mehrere Millionen Menschen zu erreichen - wofür es aber auch entsprechende Gesundheitssysteme und engagierte Communitys braucht.

Unrühmliche Zahlen für Gilead:
>97% der globalen #HIV- Infektionen finden außerhalb der USA statt. Mit der #Lenacapavir- #PrEP (LEN) kann man sich vor HIV-Infektionen schützen. >96% der LEN-Verkäufe finden innerhalb der USA statt. /2
>97% of new HIV infections happen outside the United States. >96% of LEN sales happen inside it.

In its entire 24 year history, the Global Fund has invested $28.5 billion in HIV programs. Gilead’s HIV sales in the last year and a half come to $37.7 billion. (3/4)

Man schätzt, dass die Kosten für die #Lenacapavir- Generika bei etwa 40 US-Dollar pro Jahr liegen werden. In ersten Ländern, darunter Sambia, werden die Generika noch Ende des Jahres 2026 erwartet. Die Zulassung des Generikums erfolgt nur 16 Monate nach Zulassung des Originals zur Prävention.

📢 Lenacapavir could be a game-changer for #HIV prevention, but right now it is not being made available as PrEP.

With 18 other HIV organisations, we’ve written to NHS England, NHS Wales, NICE, and Gilead Sciences to call for action: https://ow.ly/4uhI5101P1G
