There are separate drug profiles for each of the single antiretrovirals (ARVs), fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) and co-packs containing two or three ARVs. Each drug profile contains the following sections:

General

Each originator company applies different eligibility criteria for discounted prices on ARVs. Even if a country is eligible for a price discount from one company, it may be excluded from the list of eligible countries by another company. Category 1 describes countries that are eligible for the most discounted price. Category 2 describes countries that are offered a discount, usually considerably smaller than the discount offered to category 1 countries.

To know whether a country is eligible for a discounted price offered by a given company, or to find out the category of a given country by different companies, please refer to the annexes.
