Few states have AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP) that cover all the treatment types listed here, but you should always have your doctor or health care provider ask. Arrangements can sometimes be made on a case by case basis. One of the first things that an ADAP will ask is if you have already applied for Medicaid, which almost always covers more things than any ADAP. An ADAP might help pay your insurance premiums or assist with co-pays. Your Medicare Part D plan may also cover more than a state ADAP, but you should always check what any Medicare Part D plan covers. Some states will help you with premiums for insurance or even co-pays with Medicare Part D.

HIV-related Treatments, Tests, and Vaccines

  • Alaska covers vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and pneumonia. They also cover HIV Drug Resistance Tests. In addition, Alaska has a very large list of drugs they cover for the prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections, the treatment of drug side effects, and other HIV-related conditions. A case manager at one of the designated case management agencies will assist you in having the prescriptions you need filled.

Other categories of drugs that are sometimes covered by ADAP include anti-infectives, cardiovasculars for lipids and blood pressure, CNS drugs (such as anticonvulsants, anti-depressants, anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics and substance abuse agents), endocrine drugs (for wasting, diabetes, bone loss and thyroid agents), gastrointestinal drugs, respiratory drugs, urologicals, topical agents, dental products, diabetic monitoring devices, and more.

There are many categories of drugs related to treating AIDS, HIV or Hepatitis. You might also consider experimental drugs. Sometimes, a state will have a separate Hepatitis vaccination or screening program that offers treatments as well.
