The first 4 in 1 pill for treating HIV was also by Gilead. It is called Stribild in Singapore and Quad in the US.
Stribild costs something like $1,600 per month in Singapore. I can only imagine what this new one will cost.

It's really expensive! HIV is an expensive disease.. I wonder why government did not subsidize this.. What about the convicted HIV patient? Will they get free medication or wait to die?
But really, how effective is this drug? Have to take for the rest of the life? Can it can prolong life until 80 years old? Why can't we supress the hiv first, and then do blood transfusion? That could work right? Remove all the "dirty" blood!
