Need the PEP pill

Post by Qwerty1 »

After a night of indescresion I decided to go to Royal PP and get the PEP pill. At $160 a week (4 weeks needed) it's quite expensive. I only bought a week's worth. Does anyone know where I can find it cheaper? They don't sell this at pharmacy. For those that don't know the PEP is a precaution pill if you were exposed to HIV.

Gonna bump this one for the sake of knowledge.

Go to a hospital that recieves aid money as they are usually cheaper and not so profit oriented.

Sonja kill gave me a pep cure that set me back 60 dollars for the whole month of combivir.

Shamefully i had to do it again and went to the refferal hospital as they are the ones that hand this medicines out. Note that its not actually allowed to sell those medicines. They are free for locals after a diagnosis. But the guy were super nice. I got a whole months pep and only had to pay 8.000 riel to get myself registred. This was a 3 drug version called acriptega.

160 a week vs 2 for a month

I think, as they get aid for those medicines, its free for locals and not allowed to be sold for money anyway its easy for the guy to just give it to you as its non profit.
