- STAT+: Merck strikes voluntary licensing deals in poor countries for an experimental HIV prevention pill
Merck has entered voluntary royalty-free licensing deals with seven companies to produce generic versions of an experimental HIV prevention pill, alimatravir, in 129 low- and middle-income countries.
