The aim of this document is to provide information on pricing and suppliers that will help purchasers make informed decisions when buying antiretrovirals (ARVs).

This is the seventh edition of Untangling the Web of Price Reductions: A pricing guide for the purchase of ARVs for developing countries. The report was first published by MSF in October 2001, in response to the lack of transparent and reliable information on pharmaceutical prices on the international market, a significant barrier to improving access to essential medicines in developing countries. The situation is particularly complex in the case of ARVs.

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