First, I am so sorry. You are a good son.
Second if your father contracted this at a hospital can he sue the hospital?
Third here is a website that has a lot of links and listing by state. Find your state and see if there is an organization that may be able to help.

He should be able to get the meds through insurance, or if he doesn't have insurance, get Medicaid. Have your dad go to a local AIDS support organization-- they'll know where to point him to get help. |

In the front section of your phone book you'll find the Government Listings. Look for your county government offices, starting with medical services. Call them and tell them your dad has HIV/AIDS and you need to know about available services. You can also call the number for Social Services, and they can give you other agencies to contact, who help AIDS patients.
Best wishes. |

I am so sorry that is happening to you and your family. Maybe you can ask at your school and start up a donation service. I think Magic Johnson has an AIDS foundation too.
God Bless and very best of luck

Are you in the U.S.? if so, like many Americans, he will need to get on Social Security in order to get on Medicare/Medicaid.
Also, dad's doctor can help him apply directly to the drug company to get his medications for free - it's called Compassionate Care and all the drug manufacturers have such a program.
Also, dad might need a social worker to help navigate through all the red tape - most of us do.
Also, many people with chronic illness need psychiatric medication and/or counseling to help not to "give up" as you say dad is doing. That's the last thing he needs to do. He should have several, maybe many, good years left. |

there are foundations that help fund medications. You might try to ask the hospital for referrals. Doctors give referrals. Also medicaid pays for medicine.
good luck sweetie. I'll be praying for you and your dad. |
