Medical Advisory Committee

What is a Medical Advisory Committee or MAC? 

The Medical Advisory Committee provides clinical guidance to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). This group of healthcare professionals reviews current HIV treatment standards and recommends which medications and services should be included in the program’s formulary. Their expertise helps ensure ADAP offers safe, effective, and up‑to‑date treatment options for people living with HIV. The committee also advises on emerging therapies, clinical protocols, and other medical considerations that support high‑quality care and equitable access.

Typical responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing and recommending updates to the ADAP medication formulary
  • Assessing new HIV treatments and clinical guidelines
  • Ensuring medication access decisions are medically sound and evidence‑based
  • Advising on issues such as eligibility, clinical protocols, and special‑case approvals
