The Problem
HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is divided into five Parts, following from the authorizing legislation.
Part A funds medical and support services to Eligible Metropolitan Areas (EMAs) and Transitional Grant Areas (TGAs). EMAs and TGAs are counties/cities that are the most severely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Part B administers funds for states and territories to improve the quality, availability, and organization of HIV health care and support services. Recipients include all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the six U.S. Pacific territories/associated jurisdictions. In addition, Part B also includes grants for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP).
Part C administers funds for local community-based organizations to provide comprehensive primary health care and support services in an outpatient setting for people with HIV through Early Intervention Services program grants. Part C also funds Capacity Development grants, which help organizations more effectively deliver HIV care and services.
Part D administers funds for local, community-based organizations to provide outpatient, ambulatory, family-centered primary and specialty medical care for women, infants, children and youth with HIV. Part D funding may also be used to provide support services to people living with HIV and their affected family members.
Part F funds support clinician training, dental services, and dental provider training. In addition, Part F funds the development of innovative models of care to improve health outcomes and reduce HIV transmission. These programs include:
The Solution
Over the last three decades, HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program has played a critical role in the United States’ public health response to HIV. What was once a deadly disease is now a manageable, chronic condition, if there is access to high-quality health care, support, and appropriate medical treatment.. In 2019, 88.1 percent of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clients were virally suppressed, exceeding the national average of 64.7 percent.
First authorized in 1990, the Program is funded at $2.39 billion in fiscal year 2020. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB).
