I don't think they can prevent you from getting your meds. Talk to a civil rights lawyer. Stay out of jail. Doing stupid stuff 1) got you infected with HIV, and 2) got you in jail. I think that you need to change your life style.

Your question is a medical call. Why don't you ask your doctor. The jail doctor or jail nurse make those decisions and the question would be whether they are proper medically.

The DOC officers are not supposed to deny you your medications while you are incarcerated.
