Changing direct costs of HIV treatment since the introduction of HAART in the Netherlands


Abstract:

Background Tremendous savings in hospital-based AIDS care have been reported over the first few years since HAART became widely available in 1996. However, longer term HAART may result in increasing costs, due to toxicity of antiretroviral regimens and development of viral resistance and subsequent therapy failure. We determined whether the direct costs of HIV treatment have changed over recent years.
