I found this from the related articles section on the article about an HIV cure that River posted. It sheds light on the intersection of disability and the HIV/AIDS medical world. Even as medical options become more available to treat HIV/AIDS, the way the benefits of these medical advances are distributed always ends up missing many people.
"But insurance brokers, gay-rights advocates and staff at medical clinics said in interviews they had heard of numerous such cases. H.I.V. specialists say the denials endanger men’s lives by encouraging them to drop PrEP if they need life, disability or long-term-care insurance."
