PLHIV Story: My New Life in the US
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 9:14 AM
I applaud you for doing great in your blog. I started blogging about my journey in 2007 but graduate school consumed me and wasn't able to continue writing about my so-called life living with HIV.
When the University received the results, they already have arranged a meeting for me with a case manager at the county health department. It's part counseling and treatment. I immediately got into the ADAP (drug assistance program) of the state. My case manager is so good that in the following weeks my doctor's appointment and medicines are all set. That was of course after all the lab tests. I was in a very strong ARV immediately because of my numbers. I remember I was on Atripla for a year and then when my numbers went to undetectable after a year and a half, they switch me to a cocktail of Norvir, Lexiva, and Truvada. Right now, I am undetectable and still enjoying the support of the state while I am finishing my graduate program.
