Gilead Sciences has set the wholesale price for its new once-a-day HIV/AIDS pill: It’s $28,500 a year. That works out to $78 per pill.

Earlier this year, the Clinton Foundation reported that it has secured generic drugs for delivering combination HIV/AIDS therapy in the developing world for $200 per year. Of course, that requires taking multiple pills several times a day, which makes compliance more difficult.
