AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP)

The AIDS Drug Assistance Program, or ADAP, was established in 1987 to help ensure HIV-positive uninsured and under-insured individuals could have access to pharmaceutical (drug) therapies. The goal of ADAP is to make drug treatments available in a timely and reliable manner, in order to increase the duration and quality of life for those with HIV. The California ADAP program is funded by Ryan White Care dollars and funds from the State of California. ADAP is a program that is available in other states throughout the United States.
