i get my Rx filled at the local pharmacy and they can't get the Viiv card to work so I submit it for reimbursement. It does take a few months to get paid back but could be an option to look at. 3

Insurance, Benefits Programs & HIV / Express Scripts HIV meds« Last post by PHLApoz on Yesterday at 03:39:45 pm »Hello. I just want to ask if anybody here is availing their HIV meds through Express script? My company sponsored Health insurance is tied up with them. And so I have no choice but to avail my biktarvy with them. The trouble
Is they are no longer accepting product coupons from manufacturers from Gilead. Hence I have to pay 300 dollars for every three months of my treatments. I was wondering if they accept funding from Ryan White program? Thanks 5

(like the stress of your worries, Joe, as I'm trying to work my rant back around to the your posts here. LOL) The amount of people who have come here fearing the smallest "blip" under 200, just shows how under-educated patient's are about this infectious disease. And it's not all our faults for not knowing; doctors could easily explain this in under a minute...and not ruin their billing. LOL 6

It will be fine, true generic drugs have the exact same active ingredients, no difference whatever, so the same drug but cheaper. Hope you spend the savings on something nice for yourself. Hugs. 7

The term UD/Undetectable should be scrapped or at the very least not used when sharing results, labs or discussing VL with people living with HIV. Keep it in the lab and stay there. Makes me cringe whenever someone mentions it but I just have to live with that for now. 8
I Just Tested Poz / Re: Tested Positive on Jan 16 2024« Last post by leatherman on Yesterday at 11:57:05 am »the clinical definition of suppressed HIV, ie "successful treatment" is a VL<200.
unfortunately, even though the word is used a lot, the word "undetectable" is not really well-defined.....quite frankly, it's not a real number, it's only a concept and I wish it wasn't used. Some people has used it as if it meant their HIV was cured, or completely gone. The definition of UD totally misses that we have reservoirs of latent HIV, that at any minute could release some and give you a VL of 10k, while your daily meds worked to knock that HIV out. An hour later you could have a VL of 0. The definition also misses the small group of people who are never able to quite reach UD but remain under 200. The only important number for people living with HIV is that their VL <200. 9
