The U.S. AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is a $1.79 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. 135,596 HIV-positive people currently receive free medications through their ADAP.
As of Jan. 19, 2012, there were 4,611 individuals on AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) waiting lists in 12 states. Seventeen ADAPs, including eight with current waiting lists, have instituted additional cost-containment measures since April 1, 2009 (reported as of Nov. 9, 2011). In addition, eight ADAPs, including one with a current waiting list, reported they are considering implementing new or additional cost-containment measures by the end of ADAP's current fiscal year (March 31, 2012).
