Chart showing all Tx options for all Genotypes
« on: July 13, 2015, 03:32:35 am »
Here is a very good chart of all the various approved treatment options for all the various genotypes, plus tx-naive vs tx-experienced options, plus cirrhosis vs non-cirrhosis options, plus tx options for HIV co-infection & liver transplants. Best simple, clear layout I have seen.

(You need to click on the "+" in the magnifier to expand it, and then click the "full screen" symbol upper right to get it to a readable size.)

That is a great layout!

And thanks for the specific tips on going fullscreen.  For profoundly tech-challenged people like myself, that's super helpful.  (Doesn't everyone have a magnifying glass on their desk for charts like this?  Heh.  I do.  :o)

I think if you have no insurance and are in the US, you can apply directly to Gilead's Patient Assistance Program called Support Path. Others here know more about how that works.

Check out this site.  Having no insurance is one of the requirements of their patient assistance program.

http://www.mysupportpath.com/

Do you have a prescribing physician?  They'll need to fill out the first page of the Support Path intake form.

I was lucky,my Dr did all the work.  Even with insurance he submitted the whole Path forms and next thing I knew I gotb1 month at a time for $5 a month.  But I had to show improvement and be tested every 2 weeks.  I did 12 weeks,Finished April 5 and am still Non Detected.  Good luck
