Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly injection providing protection against HIV, is now available in Nigeria, priced at ₦58,000.
Lenacapavir is a revolutionary HIV prevention injection.
One shot every six months.
It is 100% effective in preventing HIV, even when you have unprotected s*x with an HIV carrier.
What makes this special is that there are no daily pills and no forgetting doses.
Just two injections per year and you’re fully protected.
Even if you’re in a relationship with someone HIV-positive or in high-risk situations, this injection protects you completely.
The cost is ₦45 million per year in America and ₦58,000 in Nigeria.
The reason why it is cheaper for Nigerians is that it is being subsidized by non-profit organizations like Bill Gate foundation, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), Unitaid, and Wits RHI, which assist in managing the costs and distribution.
The beauty of science.
