I have no clue why people are downvoting but it does look like apretude’s list price isn’t much better. Is insurance covering a significant amount? It looks like trials for doses every 4 months and every 6 months will begin in a year or two, which should provide some competition for this drug (assuming all goes well)

The association with HIV and gayness led to the government delaying on getting treatments for HIV and of further stigmatization of gay and queer people. This led to disproportionate rates of death in queer communities too, which, alongside increased rates of suicides and murders, is part of the reason we have so few queer elders alive today. The black stripe on the pride flag mourns those we lost to HIV.

So yes. HIV treatment is a happy pride.
