$80 in the US. Because our president is a buffoon
Free with many insurances though! It may take a little longer to get a "Prior Authorization," but as long as you say you're in an at-risk group for HIV (Google these) it will eventually get approved.
The rationale is that since treating HIV+/AIDS is so astronomically more expensive than merely paying for this once every 6 months PrEP, that insurance actuaries determine the latter to be way more in the insurance company's interest.
This is good since it doesn't require the insurance companies to be ethical, just cheap. But a win-win is still a win-win, so I say take it where you can get em. {Former pharmacist here, feel free to reach out and ask how to get non-addictive drugs covered} 🪿
Hi Qualia, my brother is medically obese and uninsured. Does he have any chance of getting some sort of weight loss drug for free or low-cost? He has sleep/wake cycle problems too.

I somehow read your post as "Free with insurgencies". Not sure what thats about.
