‼️HIV Care Alert ‼️
Florida is cutting access to HIV medication for thousands of people.
Beginning March 1, the state will:
• Drop ADAP income eligibility from 400% to 130% of the federal poverty level
• Remove Biktarvy, a widely used once-daily HIV medication
• Push an estimated 10,000–16,000 people off coverage or force medication changes
Health experts warn this will reduce medication adherence, lead to viral rebound, and put lives at risk.
I broke down what’s happening, who’s affected, and why adherence matters in plain language here ⬇️
