Many pharmaceutical companies offer co-pay assistance cards for HIV meds that are not "means tested" for income.  Check this link:

Go to an ASO - Aids Service Organisation and ask for help. 

What do you mean they are holding his prescriptions hostage? They are his. He can call his doctor and ask for new ones. 

As for the insurance company it has to fill what the policy says it will fill. 

Maybe the drug companies will cover the copays. 

If its too complicated, get to an ASO for some professional help figuring it out.

Very few people in the world can afford 1st world pricing for these drugs. Its a pity its especially complicated in the USA.  Don't let the shitty system win.  Get solutions for your bf.
