Question

Can I access ARVs in spain?

I am a UK resident with an EU passport planning on moving to Spain, Valencia. Will I be able to continue to have free access to antiretrovirals whilst in spain?

Answer

Hello,

Thank-you for your question. Access to the Spanish healthcare system is dependent on how long you plan to stay, and the reason for your visit.

Information about access to healthcare for British nationals in Spain can be found at the British Embassy for Madrid’s website: UK in Spain.

    I am a Portuguese passport holder living in the UK and on free ARV’S here. I want to move to Spain Valencia too with my partner but am unaware if this sort of medication is covered in the national health care system there.

    Kind regards
    Jonathan
