HIV Treatment Costs Can Feel Scary at First

When my doctor recommended HIV treatment, my first question wasn't about the medicine it was, How am I going to pay for this?

I spent a lot of time looking up prices online, and honestly, it made me anxious. After talking with my doctor and pharmacist, I found out there were insurance options and assistance programs that could help. I also learned that skipping doses because of cost can be risky, so it's always worth asking about support before stopping treatment.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the cost of HIV medication, don't stay silent. Ask questions, explore your options, and talk to your healthcare team. There is help available, and you're not alone in this journey.
