A primary challenges in the field of HIV/AIDS education lies in disseminating the most recent information and treatment guidelines to physicians while knowledge continues to evolve.
I am currently receiving Cobra benefits due to a layoff and have been recently informed by the new insurance carrier they will only cover a 21 day supply of my Atripla prescription at a time due to a $1000.00/mo. cap per prescription which means more copays/yr on top of the already costly expense of Cobra. Claim is that Atripla is $1700.00 for a 30 day supply. This is akin highway robbery!! It is an outrage!! Is there no shame in the pharmaceutical industry? How do they sleep at night?!?!

I would like more information on when patents on all types of HIV drugs will expire .I am particularly interested in the expiration date of the individual drugs in Atripla. It is time for generic durgs for HIV POZ people in the US , not only in poorer countries. I'm tied of being penalized for living in the US where the pharmauetical and insurance industries have the Republican idiots in their back pockets!!!!We need generic drugs too.
