I imagine you are talking about disability? You need to discuss with your psychiatrist,about the depression.Regarding HIV,the majority of patients that follow treatment can get the disease under control,and can live long and productive lives.HCV is also treatable in HIV patients,and contrary to the HIV ,patients can be cured and the virus erradicated from the liver and whole body.Less and less patients need disability for these diseases now,and that's very good.
