Stacy Fisher+FollowGame-Changing HIV Jab, But Who Gets It?The FDA just approved a twice-a-year HIV prevention shot that could nearly wipe out new infections—seriously, it’s that effective. But here’s the kicker: the price tag is wild ($28k+ a year in the US!) and global aid cuts mean millions who need it most might never see it. Experts say it could be made for $25, but big pharma’s holding the keys. Feels like a life-saving breakthrough stuck behind a paywall, right? #HIVPrevention #HealthEquity #BigPharma #Health #BodyHealth1610Share
Allison Bauer+FollowCould This $25 Shot End HIV?A new HIV-prevention shot, lenacapavir, is about to hit the US, and get this: researchers say it could be made for just $25 a year!
