Ask your pharmacy for Rukobia’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
Rukobia’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Free from the maker, if you qualify ViiV Healthcare Patient Assistance Program (PAP).

“Eligible Patients may pay as little as $0 on each prescription fill…”

From the maker’s offer on viivconnect.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Rukobia itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Rukobia is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

No generic is sold yet. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.

What it’s used for

Drug-resistant HIV

What the FDA label says

RUKOBIA, a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) gp120-directed attachment inhibitor, in combination with other antiretroviral(s), is indicated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 infection failing their current antiretroviral regimen due to resistance, intolerance, or safety considerations.

Good to know

“Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to your pharmacy.
Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
