YouTube Description
as posted by the channel#Florida is cutting access to #HIV medication through its AIDS Drug Assistance Program (#ADAP), putting up to 16,000 people at risk of losing life-saving treatment.
For Tori Samuel, these medications have kept her alive, her husband HIV-negative, and her children born HIV-free. A 30-day supply of the drugs she relies on can cost up to $6,000 — far out of reach without coverage.
State officials say the changes are due to rising costs. Patients and advocates warn they could reverse decades of progress in the fight against HIV.
