People's price
It costs professionals a few pence under £65 but people with HIV can buy it for £12.95 – it’s free but this is the cost of special delivery for this large, heavy book.
The Treatments Directory is excellent but has much more information than most people with HIV want. George House Trust has a copy you can use in our reception area.
