We estimated the costs of changing the frequency of clinic appointments and drug dispensing arrangements for stable HIV patients in England. Results indicated that 6-monthly appointments and 3-monthly home delivery of drugs is the least expensive option and could result in £2000 savings per patient. This translates to annual cost reduction of about £8 million for the estimated 4000 eligible patients not currently on home delivery in England.
