This may be a victory for ADAP and its recipients, and that in itself is good news. However, it doesn't represent a victory for all people in the U.S. with HIV, especially if the drug companies, like other health care providers, turn around and raise prices to others in order to compensate. By others, I mean patients who don't qualify for ADAP and and are either, without insurance or on Medicare Part D, and in the doughnut hole. These patients continue to have to pay the full retail price on these very expensive medications that are not affordable to most people.

The message simply doesn't get through, and since doctors keeps telling us that HIV is now manageable and you can almost live a normal life, the gay population ( not everyone) has decided to live their life to the fullest. And that is putting them at risk. "Why worrying about something that might happen to me later on" ; that what's a guy told me last week. You know same hold topic; simply pop in a pill and I'll be fine. If they only knew what's really involved. Sad, very sad. Alain
