ADAP funding is made available annually to all 50 states and is to be used to provide medications to people living with HIV/AIDS who have no other payer source such as Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance.

The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is part of the Federal Ryan White Part B program, administered through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at the Department of Health and Human Services. ADAP funding is made available annually to all 50 states and is to be used to provide medications to people living with HIV/AIDS who have no other payer source such as Medicaid, Medicare or private insurance.

Despite appropriations increases, the steady growth in the number of eligible clients combined with rising costs of complex HIV/AIDS treatments sometimes results in states experiencing greater demand for ADAP services. In instances where the need is greater than resources that are available, some ADAPs have implemented waiting lists for program services and medications.

Through the ADAP Waiting List Program, patients on the list receive antiretroviral medications donated by pharmaceutical manufacturers. HarborPath began administering the ADAP Waiting List Program in May 2013.
