HIV general

pls respond

It's not the same, and you'll just be killing your liver while allowing the HIV to spread unimpeded. Look into nonprofit organizations that can help pay for HIV coverage.

>get hiv
>better drink my piss

i'm sorry you're going through this. i personally know it's no fun. the anti retro virals will make your tummy hurt, and you know about the liver damage. it's good you're knowledgeable as you are! don't give up or get lazy! get yourself truvada and some income-based insurance coverage. (in washington the doctors are handing out truvada ("the prep") scripts to any /lgbt/ who is at high risk of infection and asks for it...

the actual cure is not ready for mainstream.....so your goal needs to be staying alive and healthy until it's ready. (consider it fake because this is old news https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4576177/

that state is kicking ass in health care.

Is Truvada still effective against the virus after someone has already contracted it? I know it's the staple PrEP pill, but is it okay to take by itself to help treat HIV? I know it's a Fixed-Dose Combination drug, but isn't it usually combined with other Protease and Transcriptase Inhibitors?

ty for help though!

>but I can't afford medication
Good thing the US is spending taxpayer's money on skidmark flags, affirmative action and preventing consensual sex if money changes hands! It's not like keeping LGBT people alive and healthy matters!

Why save thousands of lives when you can build a single bomb worth the same price to instead take lives? Priorities, ma man.

We have to make up for the heroin overdose somehow.

The estimated lifetime cost of treatment for HIV is $300,000. a single 300mm MRL artillery missile is $12,000,000.
One missile can treat 40 people for life, no insurance, nothing at all. 12 million in Gilead's pocket for drug research. Put the price of this single missile into a fund such as Medicaid to assist payments, and it will extend to hundreds or thousands of people covered for year. For one rocket. These are usually launched in batches of 50 upon places where there may be suspected insurgent activity. $600,000,000.00 launched at nothing in the desert. The yearly US budget for domestic and international HIV spending is 34 billion. ~1.5% of all HIV research spent on blowing up sand. Yeah, our country will be very defenseless without all that sand.

Just get your body temperature to hit 100 degrees Celsius for about an hour and any trace of HIV in your body is gone.

>One missile can treat 40 people for life, no insurance, nothing at all.
One correctly placed missile could have saved 3,000 lives.

>>8597995
Depends how many it takes out. Could be an even tradeoff.

>>8598044
What do you mean?

>>8598061
1 life = 1 life

>>8598076
So if we spend that $300,000 to neither save 40 hiv victims nor kill 40 islams we are 80 lives up for a cost of $0!

Bargain!

>>8598084
Better than wasting it on a single missile. I'll take it.

Hopefully you'll be first in line for the Pulse 2.0 you want to happen so much.

Everyone who doesn't support extravagant military spending actually supports Islamic terrorism according to /pol/.

You deserve AIDS, if you were responsible with sex, you would be clean but no; your a hypersexual nigger

Not that anyone cares, but I got HIV from literally the first person I ever had sex with whom showed me their STD screening test results that were two months old and claimed to be non sexually active in those two months. I should have used a condom, yes, but now that I have it I can't exactly rewind time. So now my choices are to spend an exorbitant amount of money on medication so that I may actually live, or die of AIDS despite HIV being "treatable" for decades.
Moral of the story: Never have sex I guess.

>exorbitant amount of money on medication
Do you not have insurance?

>>8600734
I make $12 an hour. I choose medication or homelessness.

So of all the homosexuals on here, not a single person has contracted HIV? Interesting.

>>8600759
u need to find a friend who gets obamacare free truvada and is willing to send it in the mail.

i'm assuming you have tried to get on the ACA but make too much money to get free medicine coverage?

i wonder if u can buy it from one of those countries that quit paying patent/royalty fees? (india / africa)

>anon wants to live
>the money system is fucked up

ahem....

salam alakeum

It's an excellent way to evolve hiv to be immune to prep.

>>8602440
Yeah, that's what i figured. If taken at all, Truvada is typically taken as a triple cocktail to prevent mutation and resistance. I'm definitely going to at least go to a doctor and get the correct medicine names before I decide to try anything rash.
