@A myHIVteam Member, then I guess it depends on where you live because Ryan white here in Michigan does not give you free treatment, you still have to pay co-pays and deductibles, they give you free insurance but still have to pay copays and deductibles for that too, so again not free, and they sure don't give free housing. I got 3 months help and that was it.

Look for an infectious doctor near you and go get medicine; most clinics will enroll you in the Ryan White program, where you will get free treatment, insurance, and even housing.
