The US State Department has announced plans to bring the HIV/AIDS treatment drug lenacapavir from biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences Inc to the market "at cost" in countries heavily affected by the disease, with the goal of providing the drug to 2 million people within 3 years.

At a press conference, US government officials and Gilead Sciences representatives said the company will provide the non-profit drug lenacapavir to the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

In July, Gilead Sciences and the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria said they had finalized plans to provide the drug to low-income countries, despite not receiving PEPFAR funding.

Lenacapavir, given by injection twice a year, has significant benefits for women who are breastfeeding and pregnant.

According to Mr. Lewin, the US State Department has agreed to provide the above drug to 12 countries, but has not yet announced exactly which countries.
