COST OF HIV TREATMENT IN USA

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to ask if you guys have any idea about the cost of hiv meds in the USA? i will be moving to the US soon but im afraid i might be spending way too much my budget on meds. Im currently taking Lopinavir+ritonavir (200/50) 2x a day and tenofovir 300 once a day. My employer will provide health/medical insurance.

NOT SURE how much will i be spending with these meds.

I hope someone could enlighten me on this.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Love you all! GODBLESS!

  1. I tagged you in a few articles that may be helpful. It is great that your employer is covering insurance. Do you know the type of insurance you'll be getting? I know you can look on the insurance website and typically get a sense for how much you'll pay out of pocket. - Liz (Team Member)
