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.
However, campaigners said the deal “abandons” many countries with a high HIV burden, particularly in Latin America, and urged transparency over exact pricing.
Lenacapavir, given as a twice-yearly injection, has shown strong results for HIV prevention. It stopped infection in a trial involving girls and women in South Africa and Uganda, and offered almost complete protection in a second trial that mainly involved men across Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, Thailand and the US.
Gilead has faced pressure to make lenacapavir available as soon as possible and as cheaply as possible globally. Already approved as a treatment for HIV, it is sold for $42,250 a year under the name Sunleca in the US. Researchers say it could be profitably produced for just $40 (£30) a patient, a year. | |

They’re used to rebuilding their homes and businesses after hurricanes, but most Terrebonne Parish residents are struggling to weather a different kind of storm. “It’s not going to be hurricanes that run people out of here. It’s going to be the insurance rates.” | |

Cuba has been sanctioned for longer than any other country in modern history. But almost a decade ago the Obama administration softened sanctions on the island and restored diplomatic relations with Havana, admitting that over half a century of immiserating the island had failed to oust the communist government. The economic rebound was swift. But in the final weeks of the Trump administration, the White House put Cuba back on the State Department’s list of state sponsors of terrorism, alongside Iran, Syria and North Korea, for nakedly political reasons and without providing evidence.
Cuba watchers expected that Biden would restore Obama’s raft of achievements. After all, on the campaign trail in 2020 Biden promised that as president he would “reverse the failed Trump policies that inflicted harm on Cubans and their families.”
Instead, Biden has one-upped Trump by going further than the previous administration in attacking Cuba’s tourism industry – the main engine of the island’s economy. Two years ago, the Biden State Department barred foreigners who visit Cuba from visa-free travel to the U.S. That meant that people from the United Kingdom, France, Spain and 37 other countries found out that a mere holiday in Cuba could forfeit their visa waiver, and many decided not to risk a visit to the island. Unlike the rest of the Caribbean, tourism in Cuba has not rebounded since the pandemic. European travel to the island is only half what it was before the pandemic. | |

Active-duty U.S. military units may be needed in the long-term post-Helene recovery in western North Carolina, particularly as local water systems remain offline.
Right now there are 92 search and rescue teams working around the clock to try to find people who are still alive, according to North Carolina Emergency Management.
Duke Energy crews made some progress on Tuesday with power outages at 272,672 — down by 100,000 from noon Tuesday.
People throughout the mountains were told to drink only boiled, bottled or treated water as more than two dozen water plants remained closed as of Tuesday and not producing water. That includes Asheville, where city officials have said restoring full-system service could take weeks as repairs needed for treatment facilities and pipes are extensive. | |
