Help a victim of sexual assult

Donation protected
i'm going to try and keep this short as possible. i first of all feel terrible for reaching out asking for money. but it's come to a point where i can't do this on my own any longer.... the beginning of January 2017, i was a victim of sexual assault at a house party where i was drugged and raped. i was petrified, scared, and didn't know how to reach out to ANYONE, not even my own family. i obviously didn't bother getting tested, and in most cases HIV symptoms won't show up till few weeks/months down the road. in march 2017 i went to urgent care to find i had a throat infection called oral thrush which is common with people with low immune systems like patients who are diabetic or are infected by HIV. hearing that information i put two and two together and realized that what happened to me in January I had contracted HIV. I then as soon as possible went to see my primary doctor to get blood work done and came back positive for HIV and Syphilis . i'm currently on a medication called 'Genvoya' the most effective medicine to date for curing HIV... with that being said the type of insurance I have currently quoted the meds a little over $2,000. I will have to pay this amount out of pocket..... Thankfully, it's just for this months prescription, doctor visits, blood work, and to see my therapist! Starting May 1st everything will be covered through a government insurance for people with HIV. I ask from the bottom of my heart to donate as much as you are able to help me get through this month! The medication has had its side effects which has kept me out of work! MUCH LOVE AND I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE ALL OF YOU!
