Service Description

 

HIV Care Services fall into three categories: AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), Medical/Supportive and Housing.

1.     ADAP provides pharmaceuticals for treatment of HIV/AIDS to eligible, low-income clients who have no other resources, through a combination of state and federal funds. To be eligible for enrollment in ADAP, the person must be at or below 300% of the federal poverty level (fpl).  ADAP is supported by state and federal funds.

2.     Ryan White federal funds provide primary medical and supportive services to eligible clients including medical and dental care, transportation, case management (coordination of health care and other services for the client), mental health care and other services authorized by Part B of the federal Ryan White Care Act in support of Persons Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

3.     Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) federal funds provide housing-related assistance to eligible, low-income clients in both one-time emergency situations and on-going but time-limited supported housing. HOPWA is sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Service is provided through ten regionally-based networks whose funding is allocated through the use of contracts or, in the case of local health departments, through Agreement Addenda.

Major activities for this service include the allocation of federal funds to provide medical and supportive services to 10 regional networks for HIV care; monitoring, site visits, and technical assistance provided by staff, provision of HIV medication to eligible clients, and the use of surveillance data to track cases into care.
