Georgia PrEP programs

No state PrEP assistance program

Georgia does not have a PrEP DAP. Georgia ADAP is exclusively for HIV-positive individuals. ADAP Phone: (404) 656-9805 / 1-800-827-9769. Email: GAADAP@dph.ga.gov.

Medicaid

Georgia has NOT expanded Medicaid. Georgia Pathways — a limited work-requirement-based alternative — covers far fewer people than full expansion would. Most childless adults cannot qualify.

Public health districts

17 of 18 Georgia public health districts provide PrEP medication at low or no cost to uninsured patients. Four districts cover full ancillary costs (labs, visits): North (Gainesville), Clayton (Jonesboro), Southeast (Waycross), and Northeast (Athens).
