Does Sculptra have special programs for HIV+ patients?

I am a 45 year old male who who diagnosed as HIV+ in 1993. The toll on my face because of the medications has left me with sunken cheeks and temples. I have an identical twin and I feel and look much older than him. Where can I find help with Sculptra? My confidence has really dropped to new lows each time I see myself in the mirror. I look sick even though I am doing well. Does Sculptra have a program that can help people like me? I am from the Tulsa, OK area.
