E-drug: Cost-effectiveness of STD treatment in HIV prevention?  
---------------------------------------------------------------------

To whom this may concern:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My name is Abigail Wright, I am in the process of reviewing an  
article on the cost-effectiveness of STD treatments in the prevention of  
HIV transmission-- The article cites drug cost estimates from the 1993  
unit prices of drugs provided through the national Essential Drugs  
Program. This study was conducted in Tanzania. I currently need the  
previous and current drug cost listings and I thought because they were  
based on the Essential Drugs Program-- someone at WHO might be able to  
point me in the right direction. If you have any information on this  
subject it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.  
Sincerely,

Abigail Wright
