How much does odimune cost in south africa?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
ARVs in South Africa should be free. If you are being asked to pay, please go to another clinic.
If however you are asking about the price so that you can buy them, then a pharmacy should be able to tell you this.
The price will vary depending on the type and make of each medicine.
Some combinations might be as little as US $100 for a year. Others might cost this for only one month.

Yes its OK to travel and to work in the UK if you’re living with HIV. You being positive isn’t an issue. You can also bring in your meds. If you do move to the UK please get in touch with us, we’ll be able to tell you how the process works.

Hi Zibuyile,
Sorry we are not doctors at i-Base. If you’re worried about your family knowing about your meds perhaps Treatment Action Campaign can help with support and advice. They might be able to put you in touch with local groups who’ve had similar problems and who can offer advice.
hey doctor which any disease have medication like hiv, at my home I can’t tell them about my status and I can’t hide my medication. I want to manipulate them about that disease
