Science has taken a huge step in the fight against HIV: scientists have announced the creation of a drug that 100% protects people from this virus and prevents its reproduction in the body. The final stage of the test, which has long been tested, showed that the new drug is successfully used in women, providing complete protection against HIV infection with double use during the year.
According to scientists, by the end of 2024 it is expected to complete the trials of the drug in men. If the results are as successful, two injections per year will be sufficient prevention against HIV infection.
However, there are currently questions about the cost of a new drug. One injection costs a significant amount of $ 21125. Scientists are convinced that solving this issue is possible and make efforts to reduce the price to make treatment more accessible to a wide range of people.
