29 March 2012. Related: Access to treatment, All topics, Supplements and herbs.
Can you please give me your opinion about a website selling an alternative product called baariz?
Also what is the best online website to purchase HIV medicines and will they deliver to my country, I just don’t want to buy it from local pharmacies due to strict law regarding HIV persons.
Thank you for your help.
Answer
We do not have any scientific data regarding the product Baariz. The clinical studies which the Baariz website mentions are not scientifically accurate. Please click on the link for more information on Baariz which was upload by the UK Consumer Watchdog.
There are no other alternative medicines that you can take to boost your immune system. This includes vitamins, supplement, or herbal remedies. Only HIV medication can help to reduce your viral load and increase your CD4 count.
HIV medication are prescription drugs and can only be obtained if prescribed by HIV doctor. Most people would then get their HIV meds in the country where they are prescribed. However, some countries may let you order medicines from other countries, but you would need to know you are getting the genuine medicine and getting it from a manufacturer that has had their drugs tested and approved by an agency like the US FDA.
This article from a US community publication hivpositivemagazine.com, warns of risks of buying HIV medication online. If you live in a country without free health care and this is the only way to afford treatment, then be careful in only using a trusted and approved supplier.
Hi Leoo, as i-base is UK based we do not have information about access in Germany.
This is a link to a similar charity in Germany which would be more appropriate to contact: https://aids-stiftung.de/english-expose/
How long will you be in Germany for? and have you attended hopsital/doctors practise to enquire how to access HIV medication?

Hi Minah, yes Acriptega is a PEP drug. Acriptega is a generic version of TLD. TLD is a combination of three drugs that can be used both as PEP and as HIV management (ART). This is a link about TLD (Acriptega): https://i-base.info/guides/14970
