Colourful i-Base graphic. The main text reads: Gilead sets sky-high price for lenacapavir PrEP. Cheaper to become HIV positive. At the top is i-Base’s website address: I hyphen base dot info. At the bottom it says, subscribe by email. A smaller, tilted square graphic on the right, reads: HTB news. 2025. HIV treatment, prevention, access, and more. The colours used in the image are two shades of yellow, green, plum, teal, dark blue, light blue, orange, mustard, red, and white.

Long-acting #injectablePrEP approved in the US – at $28,000 a year, despite modelling showing generic price could be just $25 per person:

It would be cheaper to become #HIVpositive and take ART than use #Yeztugo #lenacapavir as #PrEP.

Ok so I didn’t realise it was a thing - but this patient had been using methylene blue as a health supplement. Thought it might be useful to raise awareness for those working in clinics - beware the blue-green urine samples!

Genuine urine sample from a young man today in clinic. My first instinct was that two days after St Patrick’s Day he was still excreting dye from some green cocktail or other delicacy. Any other thoughts?? 🤢

Congratulations Tristan. You’ll smash it 💪🏼

Good to see this in print at last. Lots of work to put it together from a great team effort.

Nice result! Bring on PSG 💪🏼

Amazing reduction in the use of antimicrobials among DoxyPEP users overall, in a study in implementation in Italy, with decreased in doxycycline use when used prophylactically compared to baseline. This flies in the face of the concern that DoxyPEP would increase antimicrobial use! #CROi2025
