Q: How costly are the drugs for HIV and the various tests that have to be done for prolonging life?. Is there any HIV specialising treatment centres or Hospitals in Mumbai?

A:Mumbai has a lot of facilities for the management of HIV. You should contact the Government AIDS Society for Mumbai for details. Almost all the large hospitals and medical colleges will have people and facilities to manage HIV. The cost varies so please ask the local health care provider you choose. The cost has come down considerably recently and Government has a programme for providing ART free if the person meets their criteria.
