The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act addresses the unmet health needs of persons living with HIV disease. The program helps low income, uninsured and under-insured men, women, children and youth living with HIV get the medical care they need. The Ryan White program allows hundreds of states, cities and communities to deliver care to more than half a million people with HIV each year.³

In order to enroll into the Arkansas AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), individuals must fulfill all ADAP eligibility criteria. The client is responsible for providing proof of eligibility for ADAP to local ADAP coordinators or case managers at ADAP enrollment sites. All information provided for determining program eligibility will be kept completely confidential. Medications will not be dispensed in any case until medical, financial, and residency eligibility criteria are confirmed. A lack of health insurance or inadequate health insurance coverage may be additional grounds for eligibility for ADAP assistance.⁴

Application Requirements: In order for a client to be considered for ADAP, the following documentation must be submitted to the Ryan White/ADAP case manager during screening⁴: 

1. Proof of HIV positive status
   1. HIV Rapid test result, or
   2. HIV Confirmatory test result if available
2. Documented prior AIDS diagnosis
