My fiance is HIV positive and coming here from his home country in Asia. He will come on a fiance visa and then we’ll marry and apply for a green card. During the green card application and beyond, he cannot become “Public Charge” meaning using certain public assistance. My income is pretty low and after insurance we’re going to have to pay a lot to get his Biktarvy monthly. Please, does anyone know if using ADAP and/or Ryan White funds would be considered Public Charge to immigration?

One of the first things I was told is that an HIV / AIDs diagnosis brings with it a rollercoaster of ups and downs so make sure you buckle up. About two years into my diagnosis I can say this has definitely been the case, at least for me. How about yourself? Do any of you remember sage words of wisdom that rang true for you?
