NOTE: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantees have numerous providers under subcontract, and each provider completes a Ryan White Program Data Report (RDR, formerly referred to as CADR). Although data are unduplicated at the provider level, an individual client may receive services from multiple providers. Thus, any summary of the total number of clients served and their demographic characteristics, whether at the grantee, state, or national level, may result in duplicated client counts.
