This is a huge problem in the US. Truvada must be taken everyday to prevent HIV, and in 2015, it cost $1400 for a 30 day supply. In 2021, it costs between $1900 and $2500+ for a 30 day supply in the US.
Elsewhere in the world, Truvada might cost $40. In Australia, Truvada costs $8 for a 30 day supply[1].
The only other drug approved for PrEP in the US is Descovy, which is manufactured by Gilead, too, and costs $2300+ minimum for a 30 day supply.
