The global energy agency that rarely helps the positive case in oil has given a friendly boost to those long crude, just as the week comes to an end. Crude prices jumped more than 1% on Friday after the International Energy Agency bumped up its 2020 forecast for global oil demand, lifting a market that took its worst hammering in six weeks in the previous session.

Gilead Sciences Presents Survey Findings on PrEP Access and Utilization in the U.S. During COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place Orders
Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) today announced data presented at the 23rd International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2020: Virtual) evaluating the impact of COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders (SIPOs) and PrEP utilization on HIV prevention strategies and associated risk behaviors. Findings presented included results from an online survey conducted by The American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM) to understand potential changes in behavior among pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users and prescribers in the United States during the height of COVID-19 SIPOs. There were 598 total respondents – 409 PrEP users and 189 PrEP prescribers. While most prescribers (90 percent) reported recommending no change in PrEP regimen, about one-third (33 percent) of PrEP users discontinued therapy voluntarily, mostly (85 percent) due to low perceived HIV risk associated with decreased sexual activity. Only 8 percent of those users who discontinued PrEP cited inability to access PrEP medications. Nearly all prescribers (95 percent) were able to successfully prescribe PrEP despite limitations caused by SIPOs.
