There are many categories of drugs related to treating AIDS, HIV or Hepatitis. You might also consider experimental drugs. States often have a separate Tuberculosis, or Hepatitis vaccination or screening program that offers treatments as well. The best way to find out about these treatments is to contact an agency or organization that deals mostly with HIV or sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Contact the Health Department of your city, town, or state.

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.
