A group of AIDS doctors on Tuesday called for a boycott of drugs made by Abbott Laboratories Inc. to protest the company’s recent price hike on an important HIV medicine. Abbott in December raised the price of the drug Norvir, a key component of many AIDS-fighting cocktails, by 401 percent. The increase has generated “a never-before-seen level of outrage” among physicians, said Dr. Benjamin Young, an HIV specialist at Rose Medical Center in Denver.
