Once upon a time with foreign cocktail therapies, the cost was very expensive, reaching 10,000 yuan/month. By 2002, through the continuous improvement of AIDS medical experts, the cost was reduced to 3,000 yuan/month, and by 2009, China had produced domestic medicines, and the cost was greatly reduced to about only $480 or so per month. This has made it possible for more people with AIDS to afford this medical care.
