Quote:Data from Gilead’s Phase 3, PURPOSE 1 trial showed that lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injectable, is 100% efficacious in preventing HIV in women and adolescent girls.
There were zero cases of HIV infection among the 2,134 women who were given the drug. It was also “generally well-tolerated and no significant or new safety concerns were identified,” according to a news release.

Jun 25 2024, 12:28 PM #2The linked article is paywalled. I've tried my best to find a way to overcome the paywall (with the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension for Firefox, by adding the same extension's filter to uBlock Origin, even giving 12ft.io a chance, despite the website not working anymore...) but to no avail. If anyone can find the full article non-paywalled, please post the link. This seems to be huge news (?), so not being able to read the article is a shame.
You're right, I couldn't get it un-paywalled either. Here is an alternative news source from Bloomberg that is un-paywalled: https://archive.is/20240620141854/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-20/gilead-shot-prevents-100-of-hiv-cases-in-trial-of-african-women
