  A quick online search revealed that the HIV prevention drug Yeztugo (lenacapavir), is priced at $28,218 per year in the US. This translates to $14,109 per injection, as it is administered twice a year. I wonder what this will look like worldwide, especially in countries where this is needed the most, once production ramps up.

    In practical terms it means public subsidizing gay lifestyle in US by 28k/year - it’s the only demographic outside of sex workers for whom this drug make sense and will be routinely offered. It’s just not sustainable.
