I have been in treatment since April this year (Taking FDC; Tenofovir, Lamivudine and Efavirens). Could you please tell me where should I go for getting the ARV drugs? Should I pay it? Or it\u2019s already included on my health insurance when applying for my student VISA?<br \/>\nSecondly, I am thinking about how should I react on medical check up before applyingg for a VISA? Should I disclose my HIV status? For your information, I am from Indonesia and was diagnosed with HIV Positive in 2017 when the doctor found me suffering from Tuberculosis. I started my treatment in April 2019. Moreover, should I tell the University where I will pursue my study that I am living with HIV?<br \/>\nI need your answers.
