Stopping HIV Without a Vaccine

  • Summary

  • Jared Baeten is senior vice president in virology at Gilead Sciences. Jared's problem is this: In a world without a vaccine, how do you make a medicine that people will actually take to help prevent HIV?

    There’s already a daily pill that reduces the risk of getting HIV, but a majority of people who are at high risk are unwilling or unable to take it.

    So Jared and his colleagues are developing a new drug, lenacapivir, designed to be given as a shot once every six months.
