Yeztugo, a drug developed by Gilead, has been authorized in the United States as a preventive treatment against HIV. It requires only two injections a year, unlike current treatments that require daily pills. While the treatment could revolutionize the fight against the AIDS epidemic, cost remains a crucial issue, with an estimated annual price tag of about $25,000. UNAIDS director Winnie Byanyima emphasized the importance of making the drug affordable to have a real impact in the fight against AIDS.
