Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) is one of the 10 Best Value Stocks to Buy According to Billionaires. The company announced that the US FDA approved Yeztugo® (lenacapavir), Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD)’s injectable HIV-1 capsid inhibitor, as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in order to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV in adults and adolescents weighing a minimum of 35 kg. The company’s Chief Executive added that this medicine is required to be given twice a year, and it has demonstrated strong outcomes in clinical studies, meaning it can transform HIV prevention.

The approval of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD)’s New Drug Applications (NDAs) for Yeztugo was supported by data from Phase 3 PURPOSE 1 and PURPOSE 2 trials conducted by the company. In the US, Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) continues to work closely with insurers, healthcare systems, and other payers, targeting to ensure broad insurance coverage for Yeztugo. Furthermore, for eligible commercially insured individuals with commercial insurance, the company’s Advancing Access® Co-Pay Savings Program is expected to reduce out-of-pocket costs to as low as zero dollars.

Notably, HIV product sales saw an increase of 6% to $4.6 billion in Q1 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. This was mainly driven by increased average realized price and demand.
