HIV carriers can take drugs and minimize the effects of HIV in the body. How much it costs? More than what an ordinary Filipino earns in a month. You have to take several drugs (two to three) in a day as part of an HIV patients antiretroviral treatment for life (until your death you have to take these drugs). For the first line of drugs, it would cost a person at least 9,000 Pesos per month for the generic type and the second and third drugs are even more expensive. In the US, it costs a person at least 1,000 US Dollars a month for antiretroviral treatment.
