This report, the seventh in an annual series, provides an overview of the status of state-administered AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) and documents how these programs are responding to the changing fiscal, clinical and epidemiological dynamics of HIV/AIDS.

ADAPs, authorized under Title II of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act, provide HIV/AIDS-related prescription drugs to uninsured and underinsured individuals living with HIV/AIDS in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, two U.S. Pacific Territories (Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) and one Associated Jurisdiction (the Republic of the Marshall Islands).

The report was prepared by the Kaiser Family Foundation, the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) and the AIDS Treatment Data Network (ATDN). It was released during a conference call briefing, April 30, 2003.
