Serhiy (name changed) and his wife left for Slovakia 5 months ago. The couple is from Mykolaiv, the man has been registered at the local AIDS center since 2001 to receive therapy. They didn’t plan to leave Ukraine until the last minute, but when it became very “hot”, they were forced to leave their home. 

Serhiy says that as soon as the doctor heard that the family was leaving, he immediately issued ART for three months. When couple arrived in Malatsky (Slovakia), they decided not to wait for time to pass, but to immediately look for a place to receive treatment in a foreign country. “At first, we called a doctor in Ukraine, but he could not help and said to turn to volunteers. The wife decided to “Google” at the same time and came across the HelpNow service.” – says Serhiy. “We used Telegram and already on the same day we had the contacts of the nearest medical institution from your team.” 

The family was met there in a very friendly manner – the doctor listened, did an examination as well as a blood test. According to the man, it took no more than 30 minutes to complete the procedure at the clinic. As a result, therapy for 2 months was immediately available. “Everything was very coordinated there. But what impressed me the most was that the doctor greeted me by the hand, you don’t often see that in our country. Thank you, HelpNow, for your help and promptness. Be healthy!”
