There are specialty Pharmacies dedicated to HIV and other chronic diseases. These pharmacies are staffed by HIV trained professionals that can answer your questions and treat you with compassion and confidentiality. They also provide special services for people with HIV. Ask them what services they provide. Most offer home delivery. Some pharmacies will provide you with free vitamin supplements. Take our supplement vitamin list into the pharmacy and see if they’ll provide them or take yours. Many drug companies provide coupons and assistance with your co-pays.

AHF Pharmacy
2097 Wilton Drive (in Out of the Closet Thrift Store)
Wilton Manors, Fl
954-318-6997
Aids Healthcare Foundation Pharmacy is a not for profit organization. This does not mean you’ll pay less. It means that their profits go back into the community rather than to stockholders.
AHF will match any price of any competitor and even prorate mail order prices as long as the prescription is written for the given time period.
They do free home delivery and will overnight FedEx your medication to anywhere in the United States, and can sometimes even make arrangements to ship internationally too.
They offer co-pay assistance and have pharmacy specialists on staff who will help patients with applying for pharmaceutical patient assistance directly from manufacturers (this is especially critical for either newly diagnosed or patients who are new applicants to ADAP who will be placed on the waiting list).

Walgreens has set up a specialty pharmacy seperate from their large regular stores to deal with HIV patients. You may enjoy the confidentialty of going here and still have the convenience of a national pharmacy when you travel. Ask for George Kress, tell him Steve from POZattitudes sent you. Walgreens sponsored the AIDS march last December here in Wilton Manors.

my name is
JT Teahan
i work at Albertsons pharmacy
on dixie highway and commercial blv
i have many hiv pos clients and i try to offer the
best personal service that i can.
I am not trying to drum up new patients but i am in their boat

See you next week

JT,
Glad you subscribed to the Blog. Hope to see you regularly at Group.
-Steve
Excellent point JT, our community should also identify and include those businesses which are HIV positive aware and care, but their pharmacy names do not readily indicate an association with AIDS or the LGBTQI community.
Maybe other readers of this site could reply and indicate which pharmacies they have experience with (good or bad) to help Steve provide similar information to your comment.
Any suggestions on how this could be done?
I’d be open to trying a “family” pharmacy if my health plan allowed. So far Walgreens & the speciality unit are awesome as well as friendly
Good evening!! My name is denny.ive not yet been to a meeting yet.i still live in michigan. I am planning on moving down to ft.lauderdale after xmas. Im planning a trip down to wilton manors oct 10th to the 15th.id like to come to a meeting while im there. Im terrified to move but im more scared not to.
