The Texas Department of Health's Texas HIV Medication Program (THMP) is the official AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) for the State of Texas. The THMP has been in existence since 1987 and provides medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of illnesses caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other opportunistic infections in HIV-infected individuals as prescribed by their doctor. The THMP currently supplies 40 different medications in more than 90 strengths and formulations and is operated through a network of participating pharmacies, local health departments and public health clinics. The THMP also purchases and distributes medications for the treatment of other STDs through regional and local public health departments.
