Gilead's tie up with generic cos may not address HIV challenge
Gilead's partnership with generic manufacturers to lower the cost of its HIV drug lenacapavir is criticized for being too restrictive.

Patient groups are challenging Gilead's patents globally, fearing the VL aims to maintain the company's monopoly.
