AIDS Drug Assistance Program

The South Carolina AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) helps South Carolina residents get HIV medications or drugs they cannot get or otherwise afford.


ADAP is made up of three service tiers:

  • Direct Dispensing Program (DDP)
  • Insurance Assistance Program (IAP)
  • Medicare D Assistance Program (MAP)

If you are enrolled in the DDP, you will receive your HIV medications directly through a mail-order pharmacy (PANTHERx Specialty). If you are enrolled in the MAP, you will receive your HIV medications through a pharmacy contracted  with ScriptGuideRx (SGRX). If you are enrolled in the IAP, you will get treatment services through your health insurance, and the IAP will help with insurance premiums, copays and deductibles payments through a network of approved pharmacies.
