Email 473: HIV Questions!

Hey,

Thank you for the blog.

Please forgive me for my questions I might be asking too much.

I got my test last week through makati med and unfortunately this time the results took longer. They did not tell me that its for the confirmation test or western blot but I am taking it as it is. So I am just waiting for them to call me to officially pronounce me as the walking dead. 😄 sorry too much TV. I am not depressed but no matter how much I condition myself I still fear why is coming.

Email 171: Do Private Hospitals Give Free HIV Services?


Hi Pozzie.

Just want to know if The Medical City or Makati Medical Center is offering free services (testing and treatment) for HIV+, or what hospitals or clinics are providing free services for less fortunate patients. 

 Thank you.

Email 168: Ordering ARV's Abroad


Hi,

First off, thanks so much for continuing to have this site running.  I can see how all of us find it so very useful.

So I'm living with HIV.  Got diagnosed in 2010.  Had two CD4 checks in 2010 and ended at 600+ which I was thrilled about.  But it's approaching 2013 and I figure that must have changed already.
