AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) mourns the death of United States President Jimmy Carter, a champion in the human rights movement.

He died there earlier today at 100, the longest-lived president in U.S. history, having recently marked his centennial birthday October 1st.

In light of the recently announced plan to put 2.5 million people on injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), specifically lenacapavir, by 2027, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) urges global health leaders to prioritize condoms as a critical component of the rollout. While lenacapavir is a groundbreaking tool to reduce HIV transmission, promoting it without a strong emphasis on condoms ignores the alarming global rise of sexually transmitted infections, which PrEP alone cannot prevent.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) today echoed Public Citizen’s call for Denmark-based Bavarian Nordic to take urgent action to ensure equitable access to mpox vaccines by sharing technology and know-how with regional vaccine manufacturers in Africa and lowering the price of its Jynneos vaccine for lower-income countries.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) welcomes the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration move against Sanofi’s attack on the 340B Drug Pricing Program. In a letter to Sanofi HRSA Letter to Paul Hudson HRSA warned Sanofi that if it proceeds with converting 340B from a discount to a rebate program, it will no longer have access to the lucrative and highly profitably taxpayer-supported Medicare and Medicaid prescription drug markets. HRSA wrote “ … this unapproved credit proposal violates Sanofi’s obligations under the 340B statute….”

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) strongly supports an effort unfolding on Capitol Hill that would prohibit health insurers and their pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) from also owning pharmacies.

With a reported increase of approximately 11 million malaria cases and 600,000 deaths globally in 2023, the global malaria response is trending worryingly off-target. AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) calls on governments, particularly wealthy nations, to ensure the funding and resources are available to reverse a stagnated trend in fighting malaria worldwide, particularly for the most affected regions and at-risk populations.

Great news just after World AIDS Day. Today, the Health Resources & Services Administration announced that 90.6% of people, a record-breaking percentage, that receive HIV care from Ryan White Clinics achieve viral suppression. By comparison, the 90.6% figure is far superior to the national average that hovers around 60%. The record-breaking rate is a testament to the ability of Ryan White providers who also use savings from the 340B Drug Pricing Program to link people to care and then ensure they remain in care on the road to viral suppression. Treatment is prevention as someone who has reached viral suppression cannot transmit the virus through sex.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) marks World AIDS Day 2024 with the theme ‘’Til It’s Over,” calling on world leaders, public health institutions, and civil society to remain vigilant in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

AHF’s wide-ranging events will include fashion shows, comprehensive sexuality education and health sessions, and the distribution of free menstrual health products.

While AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) welcomed news of Gilead’s expansion of lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV treatment, to 120 countries through voluntary licensing agreements with six generic manufacturers, key HIV-affected countries excluded from the deal—particularly those in Latin America and others—must also have affordable access to this breakthrough treatment, irrespective of their World Bank income classification.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) applauds the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for taking decisive action against pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) that drive up costs for insulin, a product never intended to generate financial windfalls. The original developers of insulin deemed it unethical to profit off the life-saving therapeutic, selling the patent to the University of Toronto for just $1 in 1923. For the last 25 years, PBMs decided to make a once relatively inexpensive drug a significant part of their revenue streams.

AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) condemns the illegal scheme by Johnson & Johnson to stop providing required 340B discounts at time of sale to safety net covered entities, and instead provide rebates if and when J & J deigns to, which will shortchange and ultimately stiff program participants. J & J’s change means the drug maker may or may not reimburse providers at a later date, making every 340B-claim subject to dispute and protracted payment. The multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical giant is violating the law by unilaterally rewriting its 340B program obligations.

Widman issued a ruling denying Prime’s motion for summary adjudication, allowing the formal arbitration process to move forward.
