Pharmaceutical companies shouldn't be bringing in billions, while people go without needed medication.

It's simple. Nurses know that we must advocate for the health care LGBTQIA+ patients need, from gender-affirming care to HIV/AIDS treatment. But once again, we find ourselves up against Big Pharma's greed. Take Truvada — one of the main drugs used to prevent and treat HIV infection — for examp…
