PlusApotheken Pharmacies - Solid support for your life with HIV-medicines. People with HIV are generally active in society: with a demanding job or a family life with children. Plusapotheken pharmacies respond to this for example by offering home delivery nationwide and by always having common HIV medicines in stock. Have you become a customer? Then they have all your medicines in stock. That means you don't have to call in advance or to bring in your prescription first. Have HIV and don't speak Dutch? Clear communication on HIV medicines is important. An interpreter-translator will be called if none of their staff is fluent in your language. Your privacy? This is of ultimate importance. There is nothing in the plusapotheek pharmacies that lets people know that they are specialised in HIV. They are just normal neighbourhood pharmacies. We keep your privacy in mind at the counter, and if there is anything more to discuss, we will take the conversation into the privacy of the consultation room. If you prefer, we can always help you in the consultation room. Costs? All the services that plusapotheek pharmacies offer are available to you at no extra cost.
