People with But The cost is more than most people can afford on their own. But there are options available to ease the financial strain so you can get the medication you need. What Affects Costs?

The average wholesale price for the drug If there’s a generic version of your medication, that can lower your costs. For example, while the drug tenofovir disoproxil fumarate ( Sometimes HIV can become resistant to more common drugs, so they don’t work as well in controlling your condition. That means your doctor will need to prescribe something much stronger but more costly. The drug ibalizumab-uiyk (Trogarzo), for example, which you take through a shot instead of in a pill, can cost about $9,000 a month. If you’re getting treatment for both HIV and another condition, this will also make your costs go up. For example, up to nearly one-third of people with HIV also have hepatitis C. Treatments for both conditions work well, but they are expensive because you will still need to keep taking your HIV antiretroviral therapy along with your Lab tests can also raise costs, and some studies have shown that nearly half of lab tests that doctors order for people with HIV weren’t necessary.

Despite the availability of affordable diagnostics and treatment, globally there are an estimated 5.9 million people with HIV who remain unaware of their status .Key populations (including (1). “The announcement of the new pricing is an important step toward making HIV testing for diagnosis and prevention monitoring accessible worldwide,” said Dr Meg Doherty, Director of WHO Global HIV, Hepatitis and STI Programmes. “It will help programmes deliver HIV self-testing in public, community and private sector service delivery channels.” WHO recommends HIV self-testing as a safe, accurate and effective way to reach people who may not test otherwise, and to date, has Globally, many countries have developed national policies that support HIV self-testing, and implementation is growing rapidly. As of June 2022, 98 countries – 52% of reporting countries – have a policy on HIV self-testing, but implementation is lagging behind, with only 52 countries routinely implementing globally (2). WHO estimates that major donors and governments procured more than 10 million HIV self-tests in low- and middle-income countries in the year 2021.

Background Public health initiatives must look for ways to cost-effectively scale critical interventions to achieve high coverage. Private sector distribution channels, can potentially distribute preventive healthcare products to hard-to-reach populations, decongest public healthcare systems, and increase the sustainability of programs by getting customers to share costs. However, little is known about how sellers set prices for new products. By introducing a new product, HIV self-test kits, to local drug shops, we observed whether shops experimented with pricing, charged different buyers different prices, and whether prices converged within the local market over our study period. Methods From August to December 2019, we provided free HIV self-test kits, a new product, to 26 drug shops in Shinyanga, Tanzania to sell to the local community. We measured sales volume, price, customer age and sex using shop records. Using a multiple linear regression model, we conducted F-tests to determine whether shop, age, sex, and time (week) respectively were associated with price. We measured willingness-to-pay to restock test kits at the end of the study. Results 514 test kits were sold over 18 weeks; 69% of buyers were male, 40% were aged 25–34 and 32% aged 35–44. Purchase prices ranged from 1000 to 6000 Tsh (median 3000 Tsh; ~$1.30 USD). Within shops, prices were 11.3% higher for 25–34 and 12.7% higher for 45+ year olds relative to 15–19-year olds ( p = 0.029) and 13.5% l...
