He had to move to a different treatment due to side effects after a few months, and is doing well right now. He was diagnosed in 2012, relapsed in 2017. Thanks for asking. Gilead was a blessing.

Stopping the spread of HIV is pretty simple, really. If people would stop putting certain parts of their bodies into certain parts of other people's bodies then, ta-da, HIV infections go to near zero in a hurry.

And that costs a lot less than $2000/mo

You can say what you say about AIDs, but what about the poor people with bee sting allergy, and the sudden increase in the anti-allergy injections. Then the infamous man who raised the price astronomically on a drug for a rare disease. Well, at least he got his punishment. Most drug company CEOs are wildly overpaid as are many other CEOs, often $20million or more. The profit margin for drug companies is often two or three times that of most other businesses, because they can get away with high charges for a life saving drug that people cannot live without.

Actually, I have a solution for the outrageous pay of high level management. Only allow businesses to deduct the first $1million of salary on their corporate income taxes. Stockholders would soon object to the reduction in their dividends. I remember in 2008 when Goldman Sachs stockholders discovered that their top 3 executives were all paid over $65million. That spring 43% voted for a Proposal for a Stockholder’s Advisory on Compensation. While it was not a win, it was a high enough vote to scare the CEO into a dainty salary reduction to $25million the next year. That was during the time that Goldman Sachs had their man working for Bush 2.
