ADAP Waiting Lists Return, and Harder Times May Lie AheadOnce again, people with HIV in the United States who need help paying for their medications are being forced to wait. After the U.S. government increased funding for AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) in 2007, wait lists for the program evaporated. But now they're back: As of July 3, 35 HIV-positive people in Montana and Indiana were reportedly on waiting lists for HIV medications, and Montana and Utah reduced the number of drugs their ADAPs will cover. At the same time, a number of states have reportedly been forced to curtail their Medicare Part B benefits. The San Francisco-based HIV organization Project Inform warns that, at current funding levels, even more cutbacks will likely be necessary in the months to come. (Article from Project Inform) For a complete breakdown of the cutbacks in ADAP services and an analysis of how funding shortfalls may affect people with HIV in the United States over the next year, take a look at this report from the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors.
