Update on treatment (for PeP / PreP)
[QUOTE=TempleAvenue;6882755]Admin, Please delete if not allowed.
I had an exposure this morning (for a brief moment like 5 seconds and the girl told me she regularly tested full panel monthly). But I am not taking any risk. My primary doctor is retired now. I always tested myself and received a treatment after any exposure.
I am looking for a recommendation. Preferable online if possible to start a treatment but I have to get a baseline prior to and after the treatment. (The last time I was in this situation about 7 years ago, I went to UCSD emergency and it took too long. They run a lot of other blood tests, etc. And it was expensive too)..[/QUOTE]I just want to share some helpful information for those who is not willing to risk after exposure (even the risk is close to 0. Risk is a risk for contracting a HIV virus).
I contacted UCSD (Owen Clinics) and they explained about a program they have (even with a private insurance). That program helped me pay $0 for the medicines, and a program co-ordinartor.
Said the program would cover the testing and consultation if there is any co-pay or out-of-pocket expense. I don't know anything about being anonymous to use the program though.
