A Few Things...

 

The FDA has a approved a new 1 pill daily regimen from Gilead.   This piece also covers the matter.   The med is for suppressed patients who seek a simplified treatment.  

– Novel Daily Oral Tablet Combines Bictegravir, a Guideline-Recommended INSTI with a High Barrier to Resistance, with Lenacapavir, a First-in-Class Capsid Inhibitor with No Cross-Resistance to Other Existing Antiretrovirals –

– Bixlenvo Now the Smallest STR; First and Only STR for Most People on Complex HIV Treatment Regimens –

It'll run about $4,500 monthly.  It will provide another option for those on more complicated regimens.  They  the price is about average, but wow.

This is the last Friday of August 2026.  There's only 3 full days left in my 59th year.  Here's hoping it ends well & 60 doesn't start of with some level of suckage.

Finally, I saw a 3rd hummer this morning.  It was larger & slightly darker.  Unfortunately, the bushes in our yard look like it's late October, so it flit around & then promptly leave.  It was probably hungry & these shrubs had little to offer.  I haven't seen people posting any of the normal hummer pics like I used to.  I guess everybody is having this issue.  It's just too hot & dry.

That's all for now, take care.

Further Developments...

 

This piece is over Gilead pushing their injectable lencapavir from a twice a year subcutaneous injection to an annual intramuscular application.  According to research, the results show a better concentration of the medicine than the current approach.  The yearly shot had a higher dosage & injection site pain was common.  

For those not interested or can't get the injections, Merck has developed another daily med with only 2 drugs.  I don't know much on it so far, but I found this article.  

We have an unexpected errand today.  I hope things go well.  I tried to do better yesterday.  I didn't & spent most of the day on edge.  Everything keeps piling on & I can't keep up or handle it.   I'm not sure how things will go, but I am trying.   It just doesn't seem to be enough.

That's all for now.
