1998<\/strong>, GlaxoSmithKline introduces a breakthrough HIV drug, Abacavir, that greatly reduces the number of pills an HIV person needs to take a day and adds yet another option for treatment. Hooray!

GSK justifies the hefty cost of these drugs ($10-$21 retail per tablet<\/em>) as going into a rainy day fund for the lawsuits that might come their way. Of course they downplay the study and assuredly inform Health Canada that there might be a problem (while fidgeting with their tie and doing their best Oliver Hardy face).<\/p>\n
