What is the cost of HIV medication?
-
This largely depends on what medication regime that you're put onto, as well as what kind of pharmacy that you go to.
My original medications cost $1533.53/mo at a cheaper pharmacy, whereas at the big name pharmacies, they would easily run well over $3500. My current supply costs me just under $1400/mo. Thankfully, one thing I love about the Canadian healthcare system is that they pickup the bill on these medications as they're deemed to be a necessity of life.

Have things changed in your case?
-
If by changed you mean my government funding for my meds, no… The bill is still hefty, but it gets billed straight to the government, so I never actually see the bill.
As for my progress with HIV, I'm down to one horse pill once a day with pretty well no side effects.
