Hi,

Was wondering if someone could give me some advice about the cost of HIV treatment (for a Westerner) in Bangkok? I appreciate this is a тАЬhow long is a piece of stringтАЭ type question тАУ but just some thoughts would be helpful. For instance, I guess all the different hospitals have different billing models? тАУ where offerтАЩs good value for money?

I plan to move to BKK within the next 18 months. IтАЩm presently not on Meds тАУ and think it will be some time before I am. So, for now тАУ IтАЩm just looking for somewhere to monitor my counts. If and when I do start needing medication тАУ I guess hospital bills will start to rocket? My doctor in the UK had suggested that if I can return home on a regular basis, they can still treat and monitor my condition from here тАУ but I donтАЩt want to count on that. If anyone has some advice they could offer me on how they manage the condition while living in Thailand тАУ either publicly, or privately, I would be very very grateful.

Thanks in advance
