Funding will ensure that more than 290,000 people with HIV receive lifesaving HIV medication.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announced more than $1.4 billion in Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding for the HRSA AIDS Drug Assistance Program and related awards.

This HRSA funding ensures that individuals with HIV who have low incomes receive lifesaving medication, quality HIV healthcare and essential support services.

HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program provides a comprehensive system of HIV primary medical care, medication, and needed support services to more than 560,000 people with HIV who have low incomes. The program focuses on tailoring approaches to best meet people with HIV and their communities where they are, including by addressing social determinants of health – like housing, transportation, and food access – that directly affect the ability of patients to enter and stay in care and access treatment services.
