I agree cost won’t do it alone - awareness and willingness are the other factors, and high-risk opioid users often also have mental health problems that makes this more difficult.

I’m also unsure if Gilead covers Truvada as a prophylactic. In order to eradicate the disease quickly, we’d want high risk individuals on PreP.
