    Question

    Gilead secures FDA approval for Bixlenvo, raises 2026 HIV sales outlook to 9-10%

    Direct answer

    Gilead Sciences secured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Bixlenvo, a once-daily single-tablet regimen for virologically suppressed adults unable to take existing treatments.
