Press Release President Obama: Address the ADAP Crisis!July 8, 2010
AIDS Drug Assistance Programs are critical in providing medications to people living with HIV/AIDS who have no other access. Unfortunately, many state ADAPs have been forced to cut services by reducing eligibility criteria, changing formularies, and closing enrollment. As of July 1 over 2,070 individuals in 11 states are on waiting lists to receive their life-saving and life-sustaining medications through this program.
