About The Federal Ryan White Program
The Federal Ryan White Program was enacted in 1990 to improve the quality and availability of care for low-income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals and families affected by HIV disease—those hit hardest by the epidemic. The program is named after Ryan White, an Indiana teenager whose courageous struggle with HIV/AIDS and against AIDS-related discrimination helped educate the nation. Reauthorized three times since its inception—in 1996, 2000, and 2006—the Ryan White Program delivers HIV/AIDS care to over 500,000 people each year. Read more about The Federal Ryan White Program.
