schema:text	FACT CHECK: No, Scientists Did Not Find A New Cure For AIDS That Costs $40K A post on Facebook claims that a new cure for Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been discovered and will cost $40,000 for two yearly shots. Verdict: Misleading The new drug being referenced prevents new infections, but is not a new cure for those currently infected. Fact Check: The AIDS epidemic has been raging since the 1980’s, and scientists have worked tirelessly to find a cure for it once and for all. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 42 million people have been killed by HIV/AIDS and almost 40 million people are currently infected. Efforts to mitigate the symptoms have proven to be successful. Medical professionals urge patients to take proper care of themselves and sexual partners, as well as taking new drugs that help combat the disease. PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) has been effective at stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS, as it reduces the risk of infection by 99%. A post on Facebook claims that a new cure finally has been found for AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.) It boasts that this new cure is “almost 100% effective,” costs $40,000 and requires twice yearly shots. (RELATED: No, Sam Hyde Was Never Identified As The Potential UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Shooter) This claim is misleading, however. The drug being referenced is lenacapavir, known under the brand name Sunlenca, and it is marketed to individuals with HIV infections that aren’t responding well to normal HIV treatments. It is approved for use in the United States, and does cost $42,250 for the first year of treatment. According to Reuters, lenacapavir has been shown in trials to be “highly effective” when it’s long-lasting injections are used as PrEP. It has not been approved for use for that reason as of yet, though. There is still no known cure for AIDS currently on the market. Stem cell treatment has shown some promise, but it is still a risky procedure and has not been approved by health officials.
