That's a stressful situation, but there are still some solid options to explore for getting Descovy covered when manufacturer programs are exhausted!

Here are some avenues worth looking into:

- Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program – Covers HIV treatment including medications through ADAP (AIDS Drug Assistance Program) for those who qualify based on income. This is often a strong backup option.
- Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) – Other pharmaceutical PAPs beyond Gilead may help cover costs. Check HIV.gov under "Non-Federal Resources To Help Pay for HIV Medication" for a full list.
- Community Health Centers – Local centers can provide HIV care and often have staff who can help navigate additional financial assistance programs.
- GoodDays – A nonprofit that may help cover specific treatment costs depending on eligibility.
- State HIV Programs – Many states run their own assistance programs, so it's worth checking what your state offers. A Ryan White case worker, if you have one, can be especially helpful in tracking down additional resources and even assisting with applications. If not, a local community health center can often connect you with one.

Don't give up — there are more doors to knock on! 🙌
