@@missanonymus585 Yes, HIV is the virus which can be treated and isn't the deathsentence it used to be. However: if it remains untreated for whatever reason then the HIV virus can and will turn into the disease known as AIDS and that actually is an extremely dangerous disease that leads to death. It shuts down your immune system. So while usually it isn't the AIDS that kills you, it's a disease or affliction you get because of AIDS that is the cause of death.

@tassymccormick 4 года назад

Lina Leeann it’s hard to say what bothers me the most, but it all boils down to money. Medicaid, Medicare, as well as private insurance companies try SO HARD to find a way not to pay for services, medications, etc. We had a meeting last week regarding how a new charting system is being implemented, and if we don’t chart EXACTLY how Medicaid, Medicare wants it, they will deny payment and the financial burden will fall back on the patient. People go absolutely bankrupt because of medical events, and healthcare is a RIGHT, not a privilege.

@bermin11 4 года назад

@@tassymccormick with Medicare the cost does not usually fall on the patient because you have to have a certain form to bill the patient. The cost usually falls on the institution, the hospital, the clinics etc. That is why the er charges 50 bucks for a bandaid because if they actually do jump through all the hoops correctly and get reimbursed they make about 25 cents off that bandaid. If Medicare for all became a reality many large companies would not accept Medicare because the reimbursement is so low and it's not guaranteed, many small clinics would fail and close. Private insurance isn't the problem it's what Medicare is allowed to get away with that is the problem. The things they demand and expect for their nothing reimbursement that is the problem, Medicare must be reassessed first and should not be allowed to demand the extremes they demand. I work in healthcare as an auditor and I see their crap reimbursement every day.

This is a wonderful interview and I’m glad Jimmy let Jonathan speak. He said something very important is that lifestyles/people that would be considered “liberal” should not be limited to big cities or coast states. We should have a country where everyone is comfortable living anywhere

@ginger8805 4 года назад

It's sad that anyone with any chronic medical condition has to jump through hoops just to live. I have Crohns and I know it's totally different than HIV, but it is a nightmare dealing with referrals, medications, reimbursement programs on top of the actual illness. I was 21 and they make it really hard even with insurance.

@sophiewong9588 4 года назад

Anna Molly no I think he is... not insulting him in saying that like I agree with you also, but at this point now he’d probably grab onto antoni or tans hand. Like he’s so strong and courageous to be speaking about this but he’s definitely a little nervous, naturally he is human

3500 dollars? American Healthcare is outlandish

@glittermafia5759 4 года назад

@Togapower that is a misleading statistic. 90% of Americans pay for healthcare but the majority still can't afford to go due to expensive copays and outlandish deductibles. If you pay for healthcare 100% of all of your needs should be covered and that is not the case. I pay $800 a month for healthcare and still have a $ 5000 deductible if something terrible should happen. All medications,all procedures and all illnesses should be covered without the fear of going bankrupt.

@porrapandaa 4 года назад

Togapower It is the exact oposite. We pay our taxes so the government provides people free medication. We have a system of public health care and hospitals, just like the US has it with public schools.

Look i try to be positive about things like this....But he was born in the 90s.....Probably didnt start having sex til the 2000s....Its not like he didnt know how to protect himself.....and even then the drugs he is on the virus cant even be detected in his body.....So basically he doesn't have it.....and ending what stigma......In the 80s there was a stigma.....hell in the 90s there was a stigma.....at this point with advances in medicine.....There isnt a stigma.....We totally should be talking about wounded warriors then somebody who knew about risky behavior and did it anyway got bit.....and even still has undetectable levels of HIV in his blood.........

@Pandi-Fackler 4 года назад

jmissle He does still have it but the medication (that he's fighting to make sure everyone has access to btw) helps. And you wouldn't get mad at someone for getting tetanus from accidentally stepping on a rusty nail would you? How is this any different? The stigma only ends the more people like him bring it up.

@idde4345 4 года назад

So good to hear that HIV medication has come such a long way that HIV's viral load can be so greatly reduced, and people who are HIV positive can go on to live a normal life. I'm no expert on the matter, does anybody know if the medication has significant side effects?

@edwardhenryferrer616 4 года назад

Idde there are different meds in the market now, blood work every 3-6 months if there any side effects esp your liver and kidneys.

@lordfarquaad8267 4 года назад

Idde Thanks for asking. Yes, there can be some side effects - digestive issues, nausea, lipodystrophy, fatigue to name a few. It’s no picnic but it can help you to live a longer healthier life.

@kevinskipp2762 4 года назад

As with any medication it varies from person to person. The majority of people have no problems after the first month, but some will have minor side effects. A small minority can have a strain that's drug resistant and they have to use 2nd or 3rd line drugs i.e. the ones that aren't first choice because they have more side effects or need to be taken in larger doses that are more intrusive to your lifestyle. But as I said 90 odd percent, like with this guy, take one tablet a day and have no problems.

I'm from Indonesia and I've been HIV positive for couple of years. Living in somewhat a third world country that values culture and religion (sometimes way too much), it surprised me that HIV meds are supported by the government. I thank God I don't have to pay for the meds; I just gotta pay for the consultation fee once every three months, which I think is fair. It baffles me that a first world country like the USA didn't have this kind of regulation. Thanks JVN for bringing this issue up. And for those of you who are battling HIV like I do, we're in this together so keep on fighting y'all.
