The Ryan White Part A HIV/AIDS Program

  • The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (previously known as the Ryan White CARE Act) is a Federal program that funds services for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).
  • Ryan White services are to be used only for those who cannot pay for the care they need and funds are to be used as the “payer of last resort”.
  • The legislation spells out who is eligible for services and describes how the money can be used.
  • Most Ryan White funds go to pay for medical and support services for PLWHA and their families.
  • The major goal of this program is to get PLWHA into care early and help them stay there and remain healthy.
