Contrary to expectations about the expense of antiretroviral therapy (ART), using ART in people with AIDS should be cost-effective for South Africa’s public health sector according to a study published in January’s PLoS Medicine (an 'open-access' medical journal). The cost of not using ART to treat people with AIDS is significantly greater — as patients with AIDS required more expensive time in the hospital and other medical care.

In less ill patients with HIV, the study also found that using ART was still less expensive than medical care without ART, but only if lower cost generic drugs rather than brand name drugs are used.
