MSF operates a rural HIV/AIDS program in Lusikisiki, in the Eastern Cape province, one of the country's poorest areas. The program has tested more than 600 people for the virus each month and has demonstrated an HIV-positive prevalence of 30 to 40 percent. MSF manages opportunistic infections in 11 rural clinics and in the district hospital and began offering ARV treatment in the clinics in November 2003. Photograph by Jonathan Torgovnik

Now in its 12th edition, Untangling the Web of Antiretroviral Price Reductions provides a window into the evolution of ARV prices and sheds light on the continuing gaps in treatments needed for patients in developing countries. The Access Campaign first published a report on AIDS drug prices in 2001, in response to the lack of transparent information available for treatment providers to be able to make informed purchasing decisions.

Additional publications in the Untangling the Web report series are available here.
