How hard and costly is it for a HIV positive foreign student (from India) to get access to treatment in the US? I am planning for a PhD program in the US.
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
If you’re planning on moving to the US to study you’re going to need to get health insurance. As to how much this will cost and if HIV treatment will be covered it’s not possible for me to say as i-base are based in the UK and the health care system in the US is very complicated. The best thing to do would be to contact the university where you’re planning to study, they should be able to give you advice about health care and what you’ll need.
