"For the past year, PAF has helped me to afford my prescribed medicine for the prevention of HIV. This medicine is a breakthrough type, has a super high effectiveness rate, and is of great benefit to almost anyone of any lifestyle sexual persuasion. Without PAF's assistance, it is very costly and not affordable to many."
"I received a call from my case manager, who has subsequently become my guardian angel. She was warm and cordial and that was a great relief. We spoke for a while and she asked me a few vital questions. She said I was approved for $7,500. That was one of the most joyous days I’ve encountered in a long time. In short it was a miracle. A lifeline was given to a 68-year-old man living with HIV on Social Security. I am so grateful to her and PAF. I can’t tell you what a relief today brought me. I just wanted to express my gratitude immediately."
