HIV Drug Development & Costs

In the May issue
<[link removed]>,
Frazer Tessema and colleagues conduct a precise accounting of government
funding
<[link removed]>
that directly contributed to the discovery and development of the first
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis medication, tenofovir disoproxil
fumarate-emtricitabine (TDF-FTC).

The authors determine that government funding for TDF-FTC included $143
million in (inflation-adjusted) direct funding from the National
Institutes of Health and an additional $314 million in "potentially
related awards."

These findings lead to questions about whether high prices for the drug
were justified, given the extent of taxpayer contribution to its
development.

"By 2019 TDF-FTC had a list price of $1,600-$2,000 per month in the
US but less than $6 in Australia. It was generically available in many
other high-income countries besides the US by 2019, despite the CDC's
patents," Tessema and colleagues point out.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs

Today in Forefront, David Muhlestein discusses how the new pool of
commercial insurer price data isincredibly rich and offers many
opportunities
<[link removed]>,
but poses some significant challenges related to the size, complexity,
and quality.

This article is the latest in the Health Affairs Forefront series,
Provider Prices in the Commercial Sector
<[link removed]>.

Another article in the series was released today, Yang Wang and
colleagues argue how to analyze and improve the usability of insurer
price transparency data
<[link removed]>.

Finally, in our Accountable Care for Population Health
<[link removed]>
series, Joshua Liao and Amol Navathe write about advanced payments in
population-based models
<[link removed]>

During May, we're highlighting influential Asian American, Native
Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander voices and organizations who have made an
impact on health equity and policy.

In a May 2023 Forefront article, Y. Tony Yang and coauthors provide a
synthesis of why international recruitment alone will not solve the
latest US nursing staffing crisis, and provide several federal-level
policy solutions that could be implemented
<[link removed]>."
