Do all states have an ADAP program?

Brett Grodeck (Author, The First Year - HIV) gives expert video advice on: What is the 'AIDS Drug Assistance Program' or ADAP? and more...

All states have an ADAP program, but not all states have good ones. For example, California and New York have excellent ADAP programs that cover a wide range of not just HIV drugs, but other important drugs as well. The requirements needed to get into a ADAP program vary depending upon the state and depending on how much money you make and how much access you have to health care. There may even be a waiting requirement. For example, North Carolina is notorious for under funding it's ADAP program, therefore, there's a long waiting list of people waiting to enroll in that program. As such, four people have recently died while on the waiting list of that ADAP program.
