Health insurance, usually available through your job, is your first and best resource to pay for treatment. Public programs to pay for HIV/AIDS care or prescriptions require clients to keep and use any private health insurance they have available.
Public funds, like Ryan White, are funds of last resort. You must show that you have no other source of health care coverage before you can get this and many other sources of public assistance. If you are not able to afford the premiums that pay for your health insurance, Ryan White can sometimes provide assistance. Check with one of
these organizations.
