ADAP Stories: Glen

Q: How has the North Carolina AIDS Drug Assistance Program affected you?


A: I am a person with HIV who lives in Newton NC. I work at a job that does not provide any health insurance and pays around ten bucks an hour. 

 
My doctor has me on three medications that are used to control my illness. Together, they cost over three thousand dollars a month if I were to purchase them at Wal-Mart or Walgreens. That is three times my take home pay. I can barely afford aspirin.
 
ADAP gets me these drugs at no charge which allows me to keep a full time job and pay my taxes. Without these drugs I would surely lose my strength, then get sick with weird illnesses which in turn would lead to very expensive treatments, at taxpayer expense, that would not prevent my inevitable death.  ADAP is a bargain.


This is one of a series of interviews highlighting the impact that the AIDS Drug Assistance Program has on the lives of people in North Carolina. If you would like to share your story, contact Claire at claire@ncaan.org

  1. Hello every body on this site, I want to give a testimony about my HIV virus that was cured by a great spell caster. Since last 4years now I have being an HIV patient. I never think I live long again and am so grateful about this great man called DR ADAGBA who cured my HIV AIDS last 3 weeks. I was in a great pain so I told one of my best friend called Susan who was cured from 7years HERPES DISEASES; she told me that there is a great spell caster that can cure my HIV. I asked her if she had his email address, she gave me his email and I emailed him. He talked to me and he perform the necessary rituals and he told me that after two weeks I should go for a test and Which I did, when the doctor told me that am now an HIV negative, I couldn’t believe myself, I went to see another doctor the result was still the same, I was human on planet earth again, so I emailed him and thanked him. Please if you are having a similar problem please visit him/contact him on adagbaspiritualtemple@yahoo.com or call +2348115200304
