TBFighters gathered at the Tulsa Pride Parade last Sat to walk in support of the @doctorswithoutborders.org (MSF) HIV prevention campaign! We join MSF in calling on Gilead to: -Reduce the price of LEN to less than $40 in all LMICs -Increase global supply to match demand -Sell LEN to MSF and others
Join us in the campaign for “Two Shots. $40. Everywhere.” Tag @gilead.com in the comments to demand affordable HIV prevention for ALL! #PeopleOverProfit #Lenacapavir #GileadSciences #HIV #TulsaPride
Hey @gilead.com it’s time to put #PeopleOverProfit and make lenacapavir accessible and affordable for everyone, everywhere! #Lenacapavir #GileadSciences #HIV #TulsaPride

Did you know #lenacapavir only requires 2 injections per year to prevent HIV? Did you know its manufacturer @gilead.com is withholding it from middle-income countries where HIV is on the rise, including ones that participated in clinical trials and paved the way for the drug’s approval?

OMB has proposed a new rule which would politicize ALL federal grants. If it goes forward, any grants from small business to TB research could be denied or cancelled after projects have started. BUT you can make a comment on the rule before 11:59 EDT tonight: www.regulations.gov/document/OMB...
Here are some resources from Defend Public Health on how to make effective comments: www.defendpublichealth.org/campaign/cri...
