Hi there<\/p>\n

i-Base is in the UK, so contacting an organisation in Poland is important.<\/p>\n

Luckily, a colleague knows the country well and has also answered your questions below.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No difference between treating Polish citizens and foreigners. Treatment and monitoring is free of charge, but this will need you to be insured. Plenty of non-Polish people are on ART.<\/li>\n
  2. Poland has access to all meds, including the one’s you are taking.<\/li>\n
  3. No one is pays for ART. Non-insured patients are supposed to pay for the examinations, but not for the drugs.<\/li>\n
  4. There is no need to go through any NGO and doctors speak English. However, an organisation that you can contact is: Foundation for Social Education (FES Fundacja Edukacji Spo\u0142ecznej (www.fes.edu.pl\/en<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  5. Taking some meds with you is a good idea. This will give you time to settle and to arrange your treatment. I don’t know if there is a limit to how much you can take. Usually 3-6 months would be okay if you are moving for work. If you take more, it might be useful to also take a letter from your doctor.<\/li>\n
  6. Medicines are free.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

    Hi there, I\u2019m Positive. I have got a job offer from Poland, that needs me to relocate to Poland. <\/p>\n

    Before I could make a decision of moving to the county I wanted to understand few things with regards to HIV in Poland <\/p>\n

    1. How is the condition of PLHIV in Poland ? Are we treated well? Do doctors differentiate between polish citizens and foreigners? Is there any stigma associated? <\/p>\n

    2. Do we have all the HIV medicines available in Poland ? My current combination is ( Dolutegravir, Tenofovir Alafenamide + Emtricitabine ). Do we have the above combination available in Poland ? <\/p>\n

    3. Do I need to pay for the medicines or is it free from the Polish Government <\/p>\n

    4. Are there any HIV Organisations in Poland that help us with our queries like I-base ? Any NGO information would be of great help <\/p>\n

    5. Can I take one year of medicines with me to Poland?<\/p>\n

    6. Could you please help me with any portals that tells the cost of HIV medicines in Poland <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,7,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-access-to-treatment","category-all-topics","category-travel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20445\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
