I have just been prescribed AZT for my HIV status, since my numbers have
gotten to the range that it seems like it might be a good idea.  I nedd
to know two things:

    1.  How much will this cost?  I've been prescribed 300 mg, a day --
what is the current list price for this (if it makes any difference, I'm
in Pennsylvania).

    2.  Are there any cheaper ways to obtain AZT (underground, buyers
clubs -- how do they work anyway?)

Anyway, any news would be appreciated. If you have any suggestions,
please respond.
