Almost a third of the entire VS rate was from ADAP clients, despite ADAP serving less than 25% of PWH. A much higher proportion of ADAP clients achieved VS, compared to PWH. AIDS Drug Assistance Programs' impact is not due to ADAP clients being over represented among PWH with reported VLs. AIDS Drug Assistance Program does not directly receive any federal Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Initiative funding. Policymakers should examine how ADAPs can support the EHE Initiative.
