I didn’t have insurance at the time I was diagnosed with HIV.
The social worker talked to me about the Ryan White Program.
She was pretty quick about getting all the paperwork done so that I could start my medication as soon as possible.
She informed me about support groups. She also advised me on keeping up with the doctor’s appointments, with the medical labs.
We had counseling sessions as well with my partner to talk about how we were feeling. She did a lot for me during those first two months after the diagnosis.
I still keep in touch with her.
She’s one of the reasons why I’m here.
