Hi
Drug pricing for HIV meds is complex. It varies depending whether a country is rich or poor because global agreements and treatment programmes recognise that richer countries are able to pay more for basic medicine.
It also related to how serious a health problem in terms of numbers of people who are HIV positive in that country. So although South Africa is a rich country, because HIV affects such a large percentage of the population, it can use generic HIV meds, which are also substantially cheaper.
The cost for ARVs in private are on this web page from the Treatment Action Campaign.

Hi Flora,
Does this mean you are finding it difficult to access treatment for your 6 year old? I’m sorry to hear this.
But you could try the Treatment Action Campaign for help with access to treatment. They have a contacts page here.
