For a person with HIV disease to become eligible for Medicare requires meeting eligibility criteria for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), including disability status, sufficient workrelated history, and a 29-month waiting period (five months from disability status for SSDI payment to begin, then 24 additional months for Medicare coverage to begin).
