Worked as a Temp for Glaxo Welcome in Morris Plains, NJ. in shipping, and receiving in the R&D Building. While employed UPS delivered a box of Stamps that stamp the Pills. The box was broken, and it was apperent a large ammount of the stamps where missing. I refused to sign for the box, my Supervisor singed for it. I made a copy of the packing list of this stamp box.The next day I was terminated, and everything was cleared from my personal desck. This company is part of Abbott, and Glaxo Welcome HIV Drug manufactures! Are our Drugs safe?

I’ve been HIV+ for over 30 years. Have used Novir in the past. But I also have a question. Why does CVS charge $1,180. for 30 Travada, and $880. for 60 Ensentress each month to my insurance? That price is higher then littery buying “GOLD”!

Stephanie, antiretroviral drugs have become one of the lesser profitable areas, which is why you see fewer such drugs coming out these days.

As a consumer I am appauled that the pharmaceutical companies still try to scam the public. Many drug assistance programs for HIV/AIDs are going bankrupt and not able to provide assistance to patients because of the price fixing and workings of the pharmaceuticals. And then on top of that insult, they are very slow and not open for assistance for helping community based organizations serve the HIV/AIDS community. Trying to get grants from them is like trying to make it rain. For 27 years I have watched and listened to the bickering and politicing and it saddens me that we have come a long way in other ways, but evidentily not in this way.
