The data in this guide on ARV prices offered by originator companies and some generic companies in low- and middle-income countries are meant to provide potential buyers with clear and verified data.
This information is intended for use by government and non-profit procurement agencies, as well as other bulk purchasers of ARVs, including health facilities and nongovernmental organisations (NGOs).
This is the sixth edition of Untangling the Web of Price Reductions: A pricing guide for the purchase of ARVs for developing countries. The first edition was published in October 2001. The lack of clear information on pharmaceutical prices on the international market is a significant barrier to improving access to essential medicines in developing countries. The situation is particularly complex in the case of antiretrovirals (ARVs).
