Sure, but they'd be rather stupid to overcharge. While there's currently no cure, there are a number of viable treatments. Sure, a cure is superior, but if people can't afford it they'll opt for what they can afford. I would imagine for that reason the price would be around the same as the price of the treatments, if not less due to the simple fact that in other countries there are going to be those who aren't going to respect intellectual property laws and will sell it cheaper if you make it too expensive.
