I reblogged this and then clicked the link and I’m going to ask anyone who follows me to please reblog this version, because something EXTREMELY important is in the link:
Her attacker is HIV-positive and she sustained cuts during the attack. She’s currently on antiviral medication in the hope that immediate treatment will keep her from contracting a debilitating lifelong illness. Part of the reason she needs to raise so much money is the cost of these medications–antivirals (as opposed to antiretrovirals, which are “you have it and we’re trying to mitigate it) are mostly experimental.
Just as an example to explain how expensive they are, a few years ago I had the flu and was prescribed the antiviral Tamiflu. It cost me $119–AND I HAD INSURANCE. And that’s for a medication for a relatively straightforward viral infection–imagine the cost for preventing HIV. (I know PrEP is well over $1000.)
This woman desperately needs help because this course of medication could save her life. The other reasons are important, I’m not saying they’re not–but while HIV is not the death sentence it once was, you would MUCH rather not have it than have it.
