The way things are with global funding for HIV, long acting medications may be necessary. These monthly to bi-annual injections from Gilead, ViiV, Merck, etc... may be the only real option. Even with the extreme costs, these meds won't need as much infrastructure. Patients won't need daily doses, so that overhead will be less.
Long acting meds aren't cures. But, if enough people were treated, it could buy time. Time to either come up with a vaccine/cure or to starve the virus out of existence.
Even if this is the best option, it may still not be a choice. These things are very costly & the funds may not be available. The orange stain declared war on the fight against HIV. He & his could cost the world decades of advancements. They are evil & disgusting.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
