@gilead.com your refusal to sell #lenacapavir at any price to @doctorswithoutborders.org is wrong and costs lives!! We need #2Shots$40Everywhere now!!! #tbfighter @tbfighters.org

It is false to suggest—as some recently have—that forthcoming generics will make #lenacapavir available and affordable everywhere.

@gilead.com we are still waiting for #2Shots$40Everywhere!! #lenacapavir #gileadsciences #tbfighter @tbfighters.org

Hey @msf.org, @pih.org, @resultsorg.bsky.social, @stoptbusa.bsky.social, @treatmentactiongroup.org, @wearetb.bsky.social, and everyone else in the fight against TB, we in @tbfighters.org love you!!!

Did you know #lenacapavir only requires 2 injections per year to prevent HIV? Did you know its manufacturer @gilead.com is withholding it from middle-income countries where HIV is on the rise, including ones that participated in clinical trials and paved the way for the drug’s approval?

We now have the technology to eliminate HIV and AIDS. But cuts to USAID mean it’s not gonna happen any time soon. My latest. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The second and final info session is tonight at 8pm EDT! #TBFighters #tuberculosis

And if you don't have any questions and just want to sign right up for an interview with the researchers, you can do that too. The interview period has already begun!

The first Q&A session on the #TBFighters study is in an hour and a half! I'll be joining in from my lunch break, so see you there!

From Thomas Mann to John Green, many authors have attempted to tell the story of TB, or stories of people with TB My editorial is a celebration of a selection of books and authors journals.theunion.org/content/ijtl...

YEZTUGO (lenacapavir) is a new injectable form of long-acting PrEP that only requires 2 doses per year to prevent HIV infection, and 3 million people are expected to get access to the drug by 2028 via The Global Fund. Sounds great, right? (1/5)

@tbfighters.org advocacy sessions have been incredibly helpful for me. I love the way we can work together on different projects, and I love the social aspect that makes advocacy more enjoyable.

Want help writing your comments? Have Qs about what this whole "comment" thing even is? And/or want to brainstorm #lenacapavir memes? And/or just want to hang out virtually with some @tbfighters.org? Join me at an advocacy session Wednesday at 6:30p EDT or Friday at 2p EDT! tbfighter.link/calendar

Happy Almost-Shark-Week @gilead.com I have a humble request for you. Take a bite out of HIV by choosing to sell your HIV medication to MSF. #2Shots$40Everywhere. #PeopleOverProfits

[Uncle Same meme] I WANT YOU to join @tbfighters.org in demanding that @gilead.com make #lenacapavir available to everyone, everywhere. Find out how here: tbfighters.org/hiv/

These queens are serving charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and tuberculosis. Sound off in the comments, which one are you rating 10/10? Or better yet, share your ideas with the hashtag #DragQueensForDrugAccess #TBSky #PeopleOverProfit @treatmentactiongroup.org

Never called your Senators before and want some moral support? I’ll be hosting some classic @tbfighters.org advocacy sessions this week where you can ask questions, make your calls, and celebrate a job well done with fellow advocates. 5pm EDT tomorrow and Wednesday! tbfighter.link/calendar

This article is concerning, but if you’re in the US, YOU can play a part in saving PEPFAR. Simply call your US Senators and ask them to sign onto the Dear Colleague letter by Senator Warnock, which calls for the necessary safeguards. But hurry, it’s due Thursday! www.statnews.com/2026/05/26/p...

Happy Pride! This June and July we are studying the heroic activism of the ACT UP movement. HIV treatment is often critical to TB patients and the advocates in this book set the example for the work we all do today.

Thanks for mentioning us in the first episode of Humans! If we work together, we can ensure that more humans than ever survive their battle with #TB

Tuberculosis kills 1.2 million people each year, and yet many people have no idea. What made you turn your attention towards the patients, survivors, professionals, and advocates who fight TB?  #TBSky

This book brings up many fictional and historical examples of people suffering with TB. Which examples were the most impactful for you or what ones were not mentioned that come to mind? #TBReaders

Lenacapavir is a new injectable drug made by Gilead that is highly effective at both treating and preventing HIV. But Gilead is barring non-profits from buying it.
