E-drug: AIDS Drug Prices  
---------------------------------------------  
I have been asked to speak in a debate on Compulsory Licensing and  
Parallel Importing to improve access to AIDS drugs at the Durban AIDS  
conference. In preparation for this debate I am trying to collect  
prices of drugs in both the public and private sectors for a number  
of AIDS and other drugs.  
&nbsp;&nbsp;I wonder if I could ask list members to send me or my assistant Fouad Pervez  
[fpervez@bu.edu \<mailto:fpervez@bu.edu\>] in this activity, the  
prices in the public and private sector for the following drugs.

Zidovudine (AZT) 100mg caps

Didanosine (ddI) 100mg tabs

Zalcitabine (ddC) 0.75mg tabs

Stavudine (d4T) 40mg caps

Abacavir (ABC) 300mg tabs

Lamivudine (3TC) 150mg tabs

Neverapine (NVP) 200mg tabs

Delavirdine (DLV) 100mg tabs

Efaviranez (EFV) 100mg tabs

Saquinavir (SQV) 200mg caps

Ritonavir (RTV) 100mg caps

Indinavir (IDV) 400mg caps

Nelfinavir (NFV) 250mg tabs

I have recently undertaken a similar exercise for TB drugs and I have  
posted these results on the web at  
[http://dcc2.bumc.bu.edu/richardl/world\_TB\_Day/TB\_Drug\_Issues/Summary.htm](http://dcc2.bumc.bu.edu/richardl/world_TB_Day/TB_Drug_Issues/Summary.htm)

I will do the same with the data which is sent to us and I will post my  
Durban paper so that even if you cannot be there you can feel part of  
the debate.

Thank you in advance for any information that you can send to me.
