I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Drug companies chased this for decades. They’ll capitalize on that fact to “justify” ridiculous markup. They won’t do anything out of the kindness of their hearts. It’d be nice to live in a world where people and corporations did what was best for humanity. That’s not the world we occupy.

The trick is in asking who owns the patent. I suspect you're going to see a bunch of Chinese/Indian generics that cost pennies on the US dollar, because they see an economic benefit in people not having HIV that Americans can't grasp.

American corporations can grasp the benefit. They just don't care.
