Accessing HIV medical care is an important part of living with HIV. Primary HIV care helps you manage your HIV infection as well as monitor your viral levels (viral load testing) and immune system (CD4 or T-Cell counts). Having regular access to care means being healthier, preventing other infections from making you sick, and helps reduce the chances you may transmit HIV to others.
Sometimes it can be daunting trying to navigate the medical system. People sometimes ask:
- I don't have health insurance... how do I get medical care?
- Where can I find insurance?
- What doctor works with my insurance?
- Which HIV clinic should I go to?
- What are Ryan White Services?
