Very true. Getting annual STD tests helps get it down to a time frame as to when you go it.

I don't really have anything to prove, this is a throwaway after all. It's certainly something I wouldn't announce publicly.

That being said, it was a pretty bloody fight.

My insurance was gutted and my deductible went from 200 to 2000 a month during treatment of this. I was accepted into the 5$ program. I told them I couldn't afford it. Getting approved took 10 minutes. One other thing to note is this drug doesn't work alone. You have to take it with Ribasphere, which can also be costly.

I'm pretty sure it was. I didn't have to apply directly. My specialty pharmacy handled it for me.

A "friend" that I got into a fight with bit me. He was known to frequent brothels.

Just fired up a throwaway to comment here. I've been taking this medication over the past 3 months and finished about a week ago. A test a month ago showed I was already cured. This drug is good. Really really good. Side effects were minimal in my case and absolutely worth it.

I only skimmed the article but knew what it was about right away just from the headline. With healthcare, my copay per month was originally 200. My employer gutted my health insurance midway through treatment and my 2nd and 3rd months were quoted to me at a 2000 a month. I spoke with the specialized pharmacy and told them I couldn't afford that. They got me approved for a program that brought my cost of the Sovaldi down to 5 a month. The secondary medication (Ribasphere) to go with it was a little more expensive, but I forget how much.

Either way, I would have gladly paid the 2000 a month for this cure. Cost wasn't even a factor to me. If it came down to having to take out an 80K loan for it, I would have. My health is more important and the peace of mind knowing I've been cured is indescribable.

I'm open to questions since I've been dealing with this over the past 6 months.
