An American who tests positive for HIV today is expected to wrack up about $600,000. ATLANTA â An American diagnosed with the AIDS virus can expect to live for about 24 years on average, and the cost of health care over those two-plus decades is more than $600,000, new research indicates.
The annual cost of providing HIV treatment and care in the UK could be as high as Â£758 million by 2013, investigators suggest in the online journal PLoS One. When the researchers included social care into their calculations, the 2013 cost was estimated to be well over Â£1000 million.
