The U.S. AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is a $1.59 billion service that is part of Title II of the Ryan White CARE Act. There is a nationwide network of ADAPs that provide free medications to HIV-positive people in the U.S. who are poor, uninsured or underinsured. 125,479 HIV-positive people currently receive free medications through their ADAP.
As of August 26, 2010, there were 3,337 individuals on AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) waiting lists in 13 states. Sixteen ADAPs, seven with current waiting lists, have instituted additional cost-containment measures since April 1, 2009 (reported as of July 22, 2010).
