In context
“bring lenacapavir to approximately 2 million people in primarily low and lower middle-income countries over the next 3 years. We were also pleased that the World Health Organization and the International AIDS Society both recently announced new HIV prevention guidelines recommending the use of lenacapavir. As we look at the rest of 2025 on Slide 11, it's clear that we are seeing very strong performance in both HIV treatment and prevention. With that in mind, we're increasing our full year sales guidance and now expect HIV sales to grow approximately 3% in 2025, up from our prior assumption of flat revenue year-over-year. This updated HIV guidance is driven by strong Biktarvy and Descovy performance so far this year and our expectations for the second half. Some additional considerations. First, we've made no change to our assumption regarding the impact of Medicare Part D redesign, which at the start of the year, we expected to impact our HIV business by approximately $900 million in 2025. Excluding this headwind, HIV growth this year would be more than 7%. Second, given the recency of launch, we have made no changes to launch assumptions surrounding Yeztugo. And finally, given a broad range of possible policy outcomes, our updated HIV guidance assumes no changes to the current landscape. Moving to liver disease on Slide 12. Sales of $795 million, were down 4% year-over-year, following a particularly strong second quarter of 2024. This reflects lower average realized price and lower patient starts in HCV, partially offset by the very strong launch of Livdelzi as well as demand for HDV and HBV products. For HCV, U.S. pricing has been impacted year-over-year by Medicare Part D redesign, while volume was driven by the timing of purchases in both the U.S. and internationally. I”
