Gilead Sciences announces deal to manufacture generic versions of lenacapavir, but critics say it excludes many countries where incidence is highest
Cheaper versions of the “gamechanger” HIV prevention drug lenacapavir are to be made available in 120 low- and middle-income countries, manufacturer Gilead Sciences has announced.
It said it would also bridge the gap until those manufacturers were up and running by providing Gilead-supplied product, prioritising registration in 18 countries with high HIV rates including Botswana, South Africa and Thailand. “Behind the seemingly large numbers of countries included in the licence, Gilead is largely abandoning upper middle-income countries, where new infections are highest, with nearly all of Latin America left out,” she said.
