| IMPLEMENTATION |
|
The Title IV programs (now referred
to as Part D) started in 1988 as the
Pediatric AIDS Demonstration Projects.
The projects originally served infected
infants and children, infected pregnant
women and their families. They provided
supportive care to families to help
infected children receive medical
care. Beginning in 1994, Congress
funded these projects under Title
IV of the Ryan White Comprehensive
AIDS Resource Emergency (CARE) Act.
In 1999, in response to the alarming
growth of HIV infected youth being
identified, the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB)
funded a Youth Initiative, which currently
supports 17 youth specific programs
across the nation. In 2006, Congress
funded the Part D programs under Title
XXVI of the Public Health Service
Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Treatment Modernization Act of 2006.
The Part D program has improved access
to a comprehensive system of health
and social services for populations
least able to cope with HIV/AIDS.
