PrEP is an effective—if not the most effective—HIV prevention modality in the modern era of medicine. However, the actions of this administration risk all the gains we’ve made in recent years, at a time when HIV rates are rising.

“...in 1990, my dad told me he was HIV positive,” writes pharmacist Rebecca Jackson. “At first, he told everyone else it was cancer. The shame and stigma were that heavy. But eventually, he told me the truth, and for a while, I was the only one who knew. I didn’t care how or when he acquired HIV. All I cared about was being there for him, learning everything I could about this disease, and helping him live.”

“...progress means nothing when the people who need it cannot access it. For Black women, barriers still show up everywhere,” writes Latonia Wilkins, BSW. “Many Black women still deal with stigma, judgment, misinformation and a profound lack of representation. The science has moved forward, but the system surrounding it is not equitable.”

Phase 3 results from Gilead Sciences about the ARTISTRY-1 study show the new bictegravir-lenacapavir combo as treatment for people with HIV who are highly treatment-experienced was statistically comparable to other existing pill regimens, although specific data were not disclosed. Two-drug pairings are being developed for people on complex treatment options; the new drug duos are also seen as less toxic than three-drug combos.
