Wyoming AIDS Drug Assistance Program eligibility + enrollment
Wyoming AIDS Drug Assistance Program serves 110 people, with an income eligibility cap at 300% of the federal poverty line. In Wyoming that means your gross annual income can be up to $45,753 for a household of one (at 2025 HHS poverty guidelines) and you still qualify. ADAP is the 'payer of last resort' for HIV medications: it covers people with no insurance, fills the gap for people on Medicare Part D, and pays co-pays for people on commercial insurance.
What ADAP covers: all FDA-approved antiretroviral medications on the state formulary (every ADAP covers the WHO-recommended first-line regimens), plus many opportunistic-infection prophylaxis drugs, lab work in states where the ADAP pays for labs directly, and in some states hepatitis B and C treatment. Wyoming AIDS Drug Assistance Program's formulary is published on the state health department website and is updated at least annually.
How to enroll: a case manager at a Ryan White Part B or Part C clinic completes the application with you. You'll need proof of HIV diagnosis (a lab report or physician letter), proof of Wyoming residency, proof of income (pay stubs, tax return, benefit letter), and documentation of insurance status. Decisions typically return within two weeks; medications are dispensed through participating pharmacies at no cost once you're enrolled. Recertification is annual.
The state HIV info line is 1-307-777-7953; the case-management team can match you to the nearest Ryan White clinic for same-week intake. Long-time Black residents name Wyoming Health Council and Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Infectious Disease Clinic as the local institutions that show up consistently — both are listed below.
Wyoming Health Council. The Wyoming Health Council in Casper is the state's Ryan White Part B case-management contractor, operating rapid testing at six clinic sites across Natrona, Laramie, and Fremont counties and the state's only dedicated HIV peer-navigation program.
Cheyenne Regional Medical Center Infectious Disease Clinic. The ID Clinic at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center is Wyoming's primary HIV specialty clinic and Ryan White Part C grantee, covering eastern Wyoming through a telehealth partnership with the University of Colorado's Denver Health ID Clinic.
For Black families in Wyoming
Of the 310 people living with HIV in Wyoming, a disproportionate share are Black residents — 12% of the new diagnoses each year, same proportion or higher of the cumulative prevalence. ADAP is what keeps many of those residents virally suppressed, because the alternative — paying retail for daily antiretrovirals — would run roughly $30,000-$40,000 a year. If your income has you worried about whether you qualify, call the state HIV line first. Ryan White case managers know the eligibility rules better than most insurance navigators and will pull you through the application rather than bouncing you to paperwork.
