The U.S. AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is a $1.88 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. 138,173 HIV-positive people currently receive free medications through their ADAP.
As of May 29, 2013, there were 113 individuals on ADAP waiting lists in three states. Sixteen ADAPs, including two with current waiting lists, have cost-containment measures in place since April 1, 2012 (reported as of Feb. 6, 2013). One ADAP reported they were able to eliminate or improve previous cost-containment measures as of Dec. 17, 2012.
