Virginia AIDS Drug Assistance Program

ADAP UPDATE November 2007

The Virginia AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) provides medication for the treatment of HIV/AIDS to individuals without insurance coverage or third party benefits for ADAP medications. The individual must also meet financial eligibility requirements as established by the Department of Health.

Program background

The AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is supported through a combination of State and Federal funding. The Department of Health first received Federal HIV funds in 1987 for the purpose of purchasing zidovudine (AZT), the only antiretroviral available at that time for HIV treatment. The General Assembly first appropriated State funding for HIV medication in 1990.

Confidentiality

All HIV/AIDS related information is kept strictly confidential.
