> Longer term, it is likely there will be a shift to a twice yearly injectable (Gilead’s Lenacapavir)

That's debatable. Injectable PrEP has been around for years already (Lencapavir is not the first, just the most recent). Lencapavir has also not yet been tested on all at-risk groups, so unlike other forms of PrEP, it's not a universal solution because it cannot be prescribed to all candidates.

Given the price, which is quite high even with the programs Gilead has said that it will issue to reduce the cost, it remains to be seen how widely-used Lencapavir becomes outside of specific markets.
