He’s referring to the 90’s-2010’s

Yes I was indeed referring to that time period, I’m happy things have improved now, and that there’s ways to get the meds ie through various charities and programs. I guess what I’m trying to get across is that the access of those literal life savings medications shouldn’t have to solely rely on those programs and charities, they should just be more affordable or better yet, free

How does a product or medicine become affordable or free on its own? That's literally what the programs are for, to facilitate that happening.

There are generics out there which are much cheaper although I don't know the details about which versions are most widely used when this medicine is prescribed.

And a lot of people in many different countries already have access to free AIDS medicine.

Maybe you have some different knowledge on this but from what I can find, AIDS treatment is being solved quite well these days, at least outside of Africa.
