AIDS advocacy group sues Trump administration over hidden Gilead HIV-prevention settlement
read at STAT ↗RegulatoryNegative
The AIDS advocacy group PrEP4All filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging it failed to disclose a research and development agreement with Gilead Sciences.
The agreement was part of a settlement that resolved a long‑standing dispute over patents related to HIV prevention drugs, originally brought by the CDC against Gilead for alleged patent infringement.
The settlement involved the CDC’s funding of academic research that later contributed to Gilead’s HIV pills Truvada and Descovy, and the lawsuit claims the administration hid the terms of the deal.
