Good day.

I would like if ever my HIV Test turns out t be positive, is the confirmatory test also free? I don't have a budget for check up and if ever, how much would be the cost? I am also not a PhilHealth member. Also, I am worried for the cost of medications. 

I do hope that you can answer my questions. Thank you.
