Médicaments non antirétroviraux chez les personnes vivant avec le VIH sous traitement antirétroviral au Sénégal : coûts et facteurs associés à la prescription

Non-antiretroviral drugs are frequently prescribed to people living with HIV in developing countries; mainly those infected with HIV-1 and those at an advanced clinical stage. Their costs can be a barrier to appropriate care and necessary efforts must made to make them available. However, early initiation of antiretroviral therapy and the registration of some non-antiretroviral drugs on the list of essential drugs, as well as social protection systems, should reduce their use and costs.
