As a doctor specializing in HIV treatment in Infectious Diseases, I'll answer!

Free antiviral treatment has been carried out in our country, which is a "cocktail therapy", using a variety of drugs to achieve the purpose of antiviral treatment. At present, the free drugs in our country are: zidovudine, lamivudine, nevirapine, efavirenz, keloidazole, etc. These drugs are all free of charge.

However, if a patient becomes resistant to free drugs or is not suitable for free drugs for their own reasons, they may need to buy imported drugs from abroad, such as raltegravir at 2,000 a month, and doxorubicin and some other medicines at several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars a month.

So once you start antiviral therapy, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions to avoid things like drug resistance.

Thanks for the invite!

I am an AIDS professional.

Antiretroviral drugs for HIV are categorized into free and self-financed drugs! The free ones are the following: lamivudine, tenofovir, nevirapine, zidovudine, and kelizipine, etc. These drugs are free, and among them, lamivudine and tenofovir are also medications for the Hepatitis B virus, so they are very safe. These drugs are actually very expensive, it's just that the state subsidizes the manufacturers and gives them out for free.

In addition to the above types: there are protease inhibitors and integrase inhibitors, these two types of drugs would be very expensive and expensive, and not necessarily available in the country, about 8000 yuan a bottle, I think, a month to take a bottle.

In addition to this, when a patient's CD4 cells are below 200, he or she will need to take anti-opportunistic infection drugs, the most commonly used being sulfonamides, which are cheap, a few dollars a bottle, and this will be at his or her own expense.

Many people may think that taking anti-AIDS drugs is very harmful to the body, in fact, the first three months of taking the drugs may have some body reactions, such as rashes and so on, which are normal, after three months, the body tolerated, there is basically no reaction, so there is no need to worry. After you start taking the drug, you should monitor your liver and kidney function regularly every month, and after three months, you should check once a year.

If you're still not sure, keep an eye out for me at the back.
