The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program: Thirty Years of Addressing Health Disparities.
- Authors
Cheever, Laura W.
- Abstract
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is a unique federal program to provide HIV care, treatment, and support services for people living with HIV in the United States. Through the distinctive structure of the program that allows for addressing both medical needs and some of the social determinants of health that can pose barriers to accessing care, the program has been instrumental in improving outcomes for people with HIV with documented improvement in HIV viral suppression and decreased disparities in that outcome over the past decade. To reach the goal of ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. the program must expand services to people with HIV who are not regularly engaged in medical care.
