I enquired about getting an HIV test at Bumrungrad. I was told this would not be possible without first seeing the doctor for a consulation. Bearing this in mind, the overall cost was much more than 180 baht. I can't remember the exact figure, but maybe something like 1,500+ baht. I don't know how much it would cost for a regular customer at the hospital. As all I wanted was the test results printed on a piece of paper, I got the test done elsewhere.

Thats because they dont want you jumping out of their hospital window if the test proves positive - quite routine for anywhere decent these days undertaking HIV tests, essentially in the pre discussion, they advise that even if the test is positive, that treatments are available and that HIV is now considered a manageable disease along the lines of diabetes (assuming of course you have the money to pay for lifelong treatment or a benevolent home healthcare service that provides free medicines). Far better than the average clinic where the doctor just says, sorry - do you want me to run the test again and lets the patient leave without any follow up like they did when she had her 3 monthly checkup for her bar.

Bumrungrad uses at least 2 different tests including western blot test and this gets double checked at another hospital. They do not do the simple Elisa type test on its own and the HIV specialists at the hospital are VERY competent, which is why they insist on someone seeing one of them before they do the tests. Reason I know this is that I pay for a girls treatment and have been there on many occassions for her follow ups with the doctor (and of course to stump up the cash for the medicine !!)

can anyone tell me about the price of Drug Resistance Test for HIV at Bamrungrad Hospital..... Also how much time it takes to get the test result at this hospital?

[Sheryl]

I'm afraid I don't know either but at a guess - and it is just a guess - I would say  5,000 baht+  for the test, another 2,000 for the doctor consultation, and probably up to a week for the results.

 

Dr. Asda there is very, very good.

 

In someone who has been on HAART, drug resistance can sometimes be inferred from the VL and CD4, not always necessary to test for it, but Dr. Asda will advise.

 

This testing is nto normally done in Thailand prior to starting HAART for the first time.
