Income limits and eligibility paths
Review each published path and its conditions. A path may apply only to certain medications or insurance coverage.
You have limited or no insurance
No income figure is published for the free-medicine program. Eligibility is based on your insurance status and is checked through the program's own eligibility tool.
Income basis
Published household amounts

Insurance and other requirements
Each path has its own conditions. Read the complete requirements and confirm which path applies to you.
-
Path 1
You have limited or no insurance
Insurance category: no-insurance
- ·No income figure is published for the free-medicine program. Eligibility is based on your insurance status and is checked through the program's own eligibility tool.
- ·If you have Medicaid, Medicare or VA coverage, the program points you to independent co-pay foundations rather than to this program directly.
- ·If later eligible for Medicaid/ADAP while on PAP/MAP, may not be eligible to re-enroll.
- ·Open formulary: PAP/MAP covers 'your prescribed Gilead HIV treatment or HIV prevention medication' generically (free-text field on the enrollment form), not a fixed drug checklist. SUNLENCA (lenacapavir) has its own dedicated enrollment form outside the general flow.

What changed
Changes to this program’s rules, from newest to oldest, based on its published information.
08/20/26 Gilead's assistance program does not publish a fixed list of covered medicines -- its application asks you to write in the medicine you were prescribed. We now say so plainly instead of implying we checked a list.
08/20/26 Sunlenca's coverage under Gilead's program is based on Gilead's own statement that it supplies prescribed Gilead medicines, not on a published list of covered medicines. We have relabelled it so the evidence behind it is described accurately.
08/20/26 Veklury's coverage is based on Gilead's own statement that it runs an assistance program for uninsured patients prescribed Veklury, not on a published list of covered medicines. We relabelled it so the evidence is described accurately.
