Just want to be clear to anyone reading that this is not an HIV vaccine, it’s a long-lasting antiviral medication. Similar therapies have been approved since 2012, and an injection that lasts for two months was approved in 2021.
The main benefit of a once-every-six-month injection is for people at high risk with very limited access to healthcare. PrEP is great but this is a fairly minor improvement to existing therapies.
