The
majority of Ryan White funds support
primary medical care and essential
support services. A smaller but equally
critical portion funds technical assistance,
clinical training, and research on
innovative models of care.
The Ryan White legislation created
a number of programs, called Parts,
to meet needs for different communities
and populations affected by HIV/AIDS.
Each is described below.

Part
A provides emergency assistance
to Eligible Metropolitan Areas and Transitional
Grant Areas that are most severely affected
by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Part
B provides grants to all
50 States, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and 5 U.S. Pacific Territories
or Associated Jurisdictions.
Part
C provides comprehensive primary
health care in an outpatient setting
for people living with HIV disease.
Part
D provides family-centered
care involving outpatient or ambulatory
care for women, infants, children,
and youth with HIV/AIDS. Learn more...
PART
F provides funds for a variety
of programs:
Ryan
White is administered by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS), Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), HIV/AIDS Bureau
(HAB). Federal funds are awarded to
agencies located around the country,
which in turn deliver care to eligible
individuals under funding categories
called Parts, as outlined below.
First
authorized in 1990, the Ryan White
HIV/AIDS Program is currently funded
at $2.1 billion.
