Damn, phase 3 double blind randomized study showing 100% effective? That's huge
"lenacapavir, a twice-yearly shot developed by Gilead Sciences for the prevention of HIV."
So its not a vaccine, but it would still be incredibly helpful in reducing the spread of of HIV.

You can keep your slut shaming to yourself.
Among other things your advice isn't an option for victims of rape, and in some parts of the world HIV is as widespread as rape.
Isn't less disease better than more? I won't argue with you about sex or other things that people have hangups about, but HIV is also transmissible through blood. There are people who got HIV and developed AIDS for reasons that are innocent in any reasonable context. If you're a first responder or good Samaritan, doctor, nurse, or find yourself in some other context where it's possible for uncontrolled mingling of blood, you're at risk of contracting HIV. If particularly vulnerable people can be completely protected, then everyone's odds will improve.
Sadly access and affordability are inversely related to profits and stock price :<
Historically, the answer on this has involved charging very different amounts in different countries. This both enables some level of access by the poor and maximizes profits.
I'm glad LGTB community will love this
