An op-ed by @PrEP4AllNow’s @ActivistJohnson as California’s state supreme court hears oral arguments in a lawsuit by 24,000 people living HIV, charging that Gilead Sciences delayed development of a safer version of tenofovir in order to protect profits. positivelyaware.com/tenofovir-laws…

@peterubel So sorry to see that your piece was taken down! Forbes has been incredibly biased in other coverage. Oral arguments in the case are taking place tomorrow- our organization @PrEP4AllNow is raising some awareness this week: instagram.com/p/DX9kqCpggIX/

The state of California is suing Gilead Sciences over its delay of an HIV drug, a move called “product hopping.” Regardless of how the lawsuit comes out, the company’s actions strike me as deeply immoral and ought to leave all of us hopping mad. forbes.com/sites/peterube…

@joeynolfi This is perfect.

We urgently need a national PrEP program that goes beyond paying for meds. Such program should also provide care for co-occurring epidemics. People need this NOW regardless of their insurance and/or immigration status. @HIVMA

Generic PrEP is a key to cost savings for a #NatlPrEPProgram, but is it safe and effective? PrEP4All's @KingPiscean504 writes for @TheBodyDotCom to explain generic PrEP and how it makes PrEP affordable and accessible. #PrEPSaves thebody.com/article/generi…

The #mpox outbreak across #DRC is very concerning: - 3,941 cases have been reported in 2024, including 271 deaths; - 70% of cases and 87% of deaths are in children under 15 years of age; - 2/3 (18 of 26) of provinces have reported cases in 2024; - there are more cases reported in the first quarter of this year than in previous years; - there is transmission of the clade I virus, including sexual transmission; - gene deletions in some strains require review of diagnostic testing protocols to ensure that all countries can detect importations.   @WHO is supporting @MinSanteRDC in the outbreak response, including on extension of diagnostic capacity, community engagement, health worker training, immunization policy and provision of technical assistance to regulatory authorities for assessment of available vaccines.  Additional funding is needed to expand and sustain the response, and ensure the virus does not spread to neighbouring countries.

BREAKING: AVAC, @PrEP4AllNow, @HIVMA, and @PrEPInBlkUS celebrate US Congress decision to fund domestic HIV programs at the same level as last year after threats to eliminate $767M in critical funds. Read the full press release here. #SaveHIVFunding avac.org/press-release/…

As we continue to call for a Nat'l PrEP Program some @CDCNPIN officials believe that PrEP is not necessary to end the HIV epidemic. Sullivan’s #CROI2024 research indicates that not scaling up PrEP means that new cases will continue to increase. #PrEPSaves aidsmap.com/news/mar-2024/…

PrEP4All joined 1,103 organizations in urging Congress to reject a full-year continuing resolution that would cut HIV programs and to adopt the bipartisan Senate funding framework for FY24. #NDDUnited #SaveHIVFunding Read our letter here: static1.squarespace.com/static/606e677…

"It is dangerous for patients, providers, and payers to allow Gilead marketing and other promotional activities that misleadingly imply that Descovy is a better PrEP formulation for all PrEP users simply because it is “newer” to dictate coverage policy." healthaffairs.org/content/forefr…

“We are certainly a long way from seeing the Senate and the House come together to hash out which version [of the budget] moves forward. We’re hoping that our champions in Congress will step in for us and make sure that [budget] cuts don't go through.” — @ActivistJohnson

Advocates were shocked at the size of the cuts. “HIV has historically, and recently, been such a bipartisan issue and such an area of true collaboration that we really didn’t see such an extreme response coming at us,” said @ActivistJohnson of @PrEP4AllNow. 4/10

“We launched an ambitious plan to end HIV — the epidemic — by 2030. Proposed a new National PrEP Program to prevent the spread of HIV.” - @POTUS at @HRC National Dinner. We call on Congress to fully fund a National PrEP Program and finally end the epidemic.

@AOC Shame on Democrats for caving to a handful of Republicans and turning their backs on Ukraine

Here’s what went down: we just won a clean 45 day gov extension, stripped GOP’s earlier 30% cuts to Social Security admin etc, staved off last minute anti-immigrant hijinks, and averted shutdown (for now). People will get paychecks and MTG threw a tantrum on the way out. Win-win

@WhiteHouse Shame on Democrats for caving to a handful of Republicans and turning their backs on Ukraine.

🚨 UPDATE: With 9 hours left until a government shutdown, the House has voted to keep the government open for 45 days. The Senate will vote next.

@RepJeffries Shame on Democrats for caving to a handful of Republicans and turning their backs on Ukraine.

MAGA Republicans have surrendered. All extreme right-wing policies have been removed from the House spending bill. The American people have won.

I 100% do NOT support a stopgap funding measure that dooms Ukrainians and turns our back on fighting authoritarianism in Eastern Europe. Shame on House Democrats for turning their backs on Ukraine, and a big fuck you to the Republicans creating this artificial funding crisis.

PrEP4All Exec. Dir. @ActivistJohnson notes that when drug companies are criticized for access and pricing issues, they deflect by touting their charitable donations, which represent “a very small percentage of their overall profits.” @TheBodyDotCom thebody.com/article/solida…

Happiness is your all-star panel of #HIV activists reading book excerpts at #USCHA with the jacket art printed on their T-shirts. What a fun surprise.
