WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is purchasing enough doses of a new twice-a-year HIV prevention shot to share with up to 2 million people in poor countries by 2028, the State Department announced Thursday.Gilead Sciences had already announced it would sell that supply of the protective drug lenacapvir at no profit for use in low- and middle-income countries that are hard-hit by HIV.

Because of this, individual protection from a particular disease is based not just on whether you are vaccinated against it, but also on whether those around you are vaccinated. That’s because vaccinations reduce the opportunity for a disease to spread.If you are less likely to be exposed, experts say, you are less likely…
