How do people with HIV really choose between self-pay and free drugs?
Those who choose to pay for their own medication are an extremely small minority, and it is important to realize that free medication is expensive, a bottle of 30 tablets costs 1980, and there are even more expensive ones, if you have to take two kinds of medication, how much does it cost you to do your own calculations for a year? Free medicines are not as bad as you think, side effects are all medicines, it varies from person to person, you can't stand a certain medicine the doctor will change it for you! The newer drugs are more resistant, but you have to know that strict compliance is the root of drug resistance, the most important thing is to take your medication every day on time and in accordance with the dosage, not on time and in accordance with the dosage of medication to give you the most advanced drugs will be resistant to the drug, and then you have no medicine to take you can only wait for the death of the! The people who are taking free medication now have not seen much bad ah! The country is gradually improving the HIV treatment, every year will come out of the HIV treatment guidance document, the local CDC and designated treatment institutions are in accordance with the national guidance document operation, the relevant health care personnel did not discriminate against the patient. HIV is destroying your immune system, when your immune system is completely lost when you will be infected by any kind of virus or bacterial infection and then die, take the drug is to suppress the virus in the body to an undetectable level, to restore the c-cells. Taking medication is to suppress the virus in your body to an undetectable level, restore the cd4 cell count, and keep your immune system at a normal human level so that you never develop the disease and are just a carrier of the HIV virus! The latest theory U=U to understand is that undetectable means not infectious! This theory has been widely accepted worldwide! There is no reason to discriminate against people with HIV! Normal life interactions do not spread the virus! Hepatitis B can also be transmitted sexually, Helicobacter pylori can be transmitted through meals, which is more horrible than HIV, but the general public ignores it and only focuses on HIV, the terminal disease of the century, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! As long as the medication is effective and taken consistently, HIV-infected people can achieve a normal life expectancy!
