Reminds me of the episode of MASH where one of the docs has to make a decision to operate on a guy that is so badly wounded that there is no way that he's going to live no matter how much effort is given, but because of his Hippocratic oath (and because he's a good guy) he knows he has no choice, this, in spite of the other casualties lined up
Of course, that's the prettied up, sanitized Hollywood version of the dilemma. Yours is the low down dirty blues version with the HIV and drug addiction and hospital costs and insurance, and I have no advice to offer you but only my best wishes that you can meet his needs to the best of your abilities and he somehow appreciates your efforts.
Good luck, I hope sharing was cathartic.
