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 April 19, 2012, there were 3,079 individuals on AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) waiting lists in 10 states. Seventeen ADAPs, including seven with current waiting lists, have instituted additional cost-containment measures since April 1, 2009 (reported as of April 11, 2012). In addition, six ADAPs, including two 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, 2013).
