http://www.genentechfoundation.com/    gene tech will provide your Interferon and Ribo for free. They are affable, generous, and very organized. To get it for free there are 2 qualifications: You must have made less than 100,000 annually and Not have medical insurance. In addition you will need a 1 time order from an M.D. for the meds (they will arrange for a fax communication) and fill out an application including your last W2 form. Contact them to dialogue for partial assist if you have some medical insurance.  I'm sure there are Protease Inhibitor (Boc. or Incivek) assist programs also available and genetech can help with that.  When I lost my insurance a few months ago my P.A. helped me with this info and I have been getting my meds (I'm finished in 3 weeks). Good luck. d

Pegasys had a program that will supply you with free inteferon and ribavirin if you qualify.
I also know of one for neupogen.
Since I didn't do the triple tx, I'm not sure about them, but I believe the manufacturers are required to have a  program in place to help those of low income to get the needed medications.

If you can't find their toll free numbers, give me a pm, and I'll look them up for you.
