#2Bit offtopic but I fully believe that if PrEP had been discovered in the 80s that no vaccine would ever come about because public enthusiasm in conjunction with PrEP would have eradicated the disease. Nowadays, 3/5 people you ask don’t even know what PrEP is.

#3We need more diversification in the supply chain for the capsule/carrier technology. Right now, this feels like gastronomical chemistry, only 4-star chefs can play.
We need India able to pump this stuff out by the billions, like they do for other drugs.
Flu, HIV
can mRNA handle Malaria, then TB? Parasite, and Bacterial.

It’s literally a new biomedical platform. Only 4-star chefs can even guess at how the kitchen should be stocked.

Even with PrEP available, HIV would likely still have become a big problem in places where healthcare is not as readily available, especially in Africa, where it is still a major concern today.

PrEP is a cocktail of anti-HIV drugs that prevents infection if taken daily. It’s been combined into convenient single-dose pills called Truvada and Descovy. These drugs have a high price tag, but insurance covers it, and if you don’t have insurance the manufacturer Gilead will reimburse you. Great for people like me in the US. But it’s not widely distributed in developing countries where HIV is killing a lot more people. That’s where a vaccine would have the most benefit.
