I was recently diagnosed about 2 weeks ago. I got my levels tested and I believe I am at the undetectable level. I go into an HIV counselor in a few weeks. I would like to ask how quickly did others start taking medicine after being diagnosed? I would like to start medicine/treatment as soon as possible......

It's now scientifically proven that starting meds right away is the best option regardless of where your numbers are. The Ryan White program can help you if you don't have insurance. Also, AIDS Healthfare foundation is very popular for providing free care, although they're normally in major cities.

I started meds as soon as they let me, but I had an aids diagnosis.

I was diagnosed in October 2020 and began Biktarvy within the next month. My CD4 went immediately from 276 into the 500s and went undetectable within a month. So far so good.
