Ryan White/ADAP
Ryan White and the AIDS Drug Assistance Program
The Ryan White Program provides care, treatment, and support services
for low-income people living with HIV in the U.S. and its territories.
It is intended to be the program that fills gaps in the health care
system and serves those who are unable to access these services
through private insurance or other public programs. However, Ryan
White has never received enough money to serve all in need, especially
in states with significant gaps in health care.
The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is an important part of
Ryan White. ADAP pays for prescription drugs for people who have
limited or no coverage for medications and can’t otherwise
afford them. The program is managed by states, and most of them
also contribute to the funding. The benefits and eligibility requirements
vary widely state by state. Chronic underfunding of the program
has contributed to severe restrictions to treatment access in many
states.
