In Advocacy, News by AHF

A few interesting facts about drug company Gilead Sciences, Inc.:

  • 81% of all treat HIV-positive individuals (US & European Union) receive a Gilead HIV drug;
  • 90% of patients who are just starting HIV treatment (US & Europe Union) receive a Gilead drug. 
  • Gilead’s revenues topped $8 billion in revenues last year.

 

Isn’t it time for Gilead to stop holding AIDS care hostage & lower their prices?

State AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) continue to struggle – with more than 3,000 people nationwide still on waiting lists to receive lifesaving care.

Join AIDS Healthcare Foundation and other advocates in telling Gilead to stop squeezing every last cent out of Truvada.
