AHF Protests ‘Greedy Gilead’ for Price Gouging

HIV/AIDS advocates converge at Piper Sandler Healthcare Conference in New York to expose drugmaker’s piggish practices

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On Wednesday, November 29^th, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) advocates will rally at Lotte New York Palace in protest of Gilead Sciences’ ongoing efforts to rack up exorbitant profits while restricting access to lifesaving medications.

Wednesday’s action outside the 35^th annual Piper Sandler Healthcare Conference is the latest in a series of escalating efforts by AHF to draw attention to Gilead’s quiet campaign to undermine safety net providers and illegally restrict access to lifesaving HIV and Hepatitis C treatments.

Since 2021, AHF has been taking on Gilead Sciences and CEO Daniel O’Day, holding more than two dozen protests in multiple cities, including Washington, DC; Miami, FL; Boston, MA; and Foster City, CA at the drugmaker’s corporate headquarters. AHF also has published full page ads in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Daily Record in New Jersey near Gilead’s new East Coast facilities, as well as posted online at Gilead.org.
