Email 195: Want to Transfer to PGH-SAGIP

Hi Pozziepinoy,

My treatment hub is in SLH. but recently, I finally made up my mind na lumipat ng PGH- SAGIP as my treatment hub. Hesitant kasi ako dati kasi I'm working and baka madaming requirements. Matagal ko ng gustong lumipat kasi di ako komportable sa doctor ko sa SLH (Dr XXX). Sobrang grumpy and moody nya kasi. Naoperahan kasi ako recently pero I chose to have it done in Makati Medical Center. Ayoko kasi sa SLH. (i dont like Dr XXX).

Email 163: My ARV's are Running Out!


Hi Pozziepinoy,

Do you know where I can buy efavirenz tablets (Estiva-600)and lamivudine/zidovudine tablets? I get my medications for free but my doctor in San Lazaro Hospital in SACCL had an early vacation leave and my meds are running out. I got a prescription from my other doctor and tried buying at Mercury but they don't have efavirenz. I was diagnosed with HIV for a year now, and luckily, my body is responding well to the medications. 

I would really appreciate it if you can help. Thanks.
