Monthly <strong>ADAP</strong> drug expenditures have also increased over the past several years and at a faster rate than<br />
client growth. Between 1996 and 2001, expenditures grew by 320%, including a 16% increase in the last<br />
year alone. As with client utilization, the rate of expenditure growth has decreased over time.<br />
Expenditure growth is driven by several factors including: increases in the number of clients served;<br />
rising drug prices; and the increasing complexity of treatment regimens (e.g., moving from 2 to 3, to even 5 or more<br />
drugs used in combination).<br />
