🚨 We demand urgent action: Expand the $40 lenacapavir price to all LMICs, not just those chosen by Gilead. Use TRIPS flexibilities, support local generics, & fund universal, not selective, access.

What do we talk about when we talk about ... conditionalities? "in 2021, Sanofi received $415 million in federal funds to build a flu vaccine–manufacturing plant in Canada. This deal could perhaps have included a requirement to apply for approval of rifapentine with Health Canada."

We need the $40 price to be global. Everyone, everywhere, should have access to lenacapavir. Remove the barriers. End AIDS. saludporderecho.org/en/the-new-a...

The New Agreement on Generic Lenacapavir Still Fails to Guarantee Global Access

And it’s not only middle and lower-income countries. In Europe, lenacapavir is being sold for Tx at absurdly high prices, completely detached from both national GNI (capacity to pay) and actual R&D costs.

Over a quarter of all new HIV acquisitions happen in the 26 countries and territories that Gilead has chosen to leave out of its license. That means a large number of people will be unable to access affordable prices for this lifesaving prevention.

This week’s announcement set the price of lenacapavir at the level of oral PrEP. This is a major step forward for HIV prevention. 🌍💊

But there’s a big problem: Gilead is restricting access by limiting its license to certain countries.

✊Activists demand Gilead drop barriers to $40/year lenacapavir, a 6-monthly HIV prevention shot.

Blocking access in 26 countries with rising HIV rates is unacceptable.

PrEP must be affordable & available to all.

If we move away from the State-centric view, then we find that within HICs, the most affected communities are in fact the dispossessed. And it is precisely this "third-worlding at home" that fits perfectly into the abandonment narrative of TB. /end

Jaime Manzano @jaimemanzano.bsky.social · Jul 21

I would say that for TB a2m is a bit more complicated than that, as the last MSF excellent report has highlighted. In Spain, for instance, you cannot access the BPaL regime through the regular pathway, as pretonamid is not commercialized. Same goes for rifapentine. /1 msfaccess.org/bridging-gap...
