HIPP Eligibility Criteria

A New Jersey resident living with HIV is eligible if they are:

  • Current ADDP members
  • Low-Income
  • Uninsured
  • Underinsured

Being underinsured means you have insurance coverage, but the limits may not be high enough to cover the full expense of your treatment.
