Paying for Prep

[Junito]

So I found out my insurance doesn't pay for truvada. My doctor sent in a letter to my health insurance but they still denied it. I don't have the money to pay out of pocket for truvada. Does anybody know any assistance programs or even websites that sell truvada? Thanks.

Go to gileads website. They do have programs

Gilead will pay most of the cost, spread out the pills maybe like take 5 in a week instead of 7 and it will last until the next year of copay and supposedly you're still protected from getting HIV

Gilead's copay assistance is $3000 per year.  But the full cost is something like $1300 - $1400 per month.  So that would run out FAST.  My copay is 25% of the full price, so Gilead covers "most of it" for the year, but with no insurance coverage that wouldn't go far at all.  A buddy of mine was getting it through the county health department even in rural GA, but he was lower income.  I don't know if they'd cover it if not low income.  It's probably county by county.  Worth a check.  Or the generic stuff mentioned....good luck, it's been so liberating!!

I just looked at your profile more junito - looks like you've already been liberated lol!!

Small correction:  The gileadcopay.com site has been updated. They now provide up to $3,600/year for Truvada with no monthly maximum.

Good news:  the yearly total has gone up and eliminating the monthly maximum helps people with high-deductible insurance plans who pay most of their medical costs out of pocket at the start of the year.

check to see if there's any Ryan White funded agencies in your area.  they might be able to pay some of the cost if you qualify
