Overview

Each drug must be taken in combination with at least one other drug (with the possible exception of Trizivir)
Drugs are listed within their class in order of the date of their approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but in alphabetical order within their class on the drug chart
“Average Wholesale Price” (AWP) is a pharmacy baseline standard, and does not necessarily represent what your pharmacy or insurer paid
Manufacturer contact can be used to obtain information on the company’s Patient Assistance Program (free supply of medicine) for that drug
“ARV” stands for “antiretroviral”
Drugs separated by slashes below are combination drugs
