Do You Pay For Your ARVs? We Get Them Free Here In Kenya
@A myHIVteam Member I get so mad when I see good American people who should have access to life-saving drugs that are denied because of money. 🤬
When I became positive a long time ago the doctor's would wait until your tcell count dropped before starting you on ARV's. My TCell count held steady for exactly two years without meds and suddenly tanked, to which I started to take medicine. The good thing about that is I use that two year tcell count now as my baseline to compare my current numbers. Today doctors like to start meds right away. In the United States you have to be really poor or really rich in order to get HIV medicine without difficulty. Otherwise your stuck in tier 3 specialty mail order only with a huge copay needing a pre authorization.
Thank @A myHIVteam Member. How long of course I don't know. But if only a few years I imagine I will be able to obtain ARVs when my labs suggest I need them. I would be in trouble if my labs were bad now.
So glad you’re in a situation that keeps you healthy hopefully for a long time without arvs. 🥹
