It’s frustrating that it’s so expensive for the most at-risk communities in the US.
Because you can totally work the systems to get it affordably. Besides insurance, there are clinics, there are coupons, there are programs…but you have to have the information literacy and the time to figure out how to jump through all those hoops.
Me, I work remotely, I have insurance, I live on the north side of Chicago, I can get my Truvada easily. You live on the west side of Chicago with no Howard Brown nearby, and you work a service sector job where your hours are algorithmically doled out to you? Far, far harder.
