Background

Part D funds the following services:

  • Family-centered primary and specialty medical care
  • Support services
  • Logistical support and coordination.

In addition, grantees are to educate clients about research and research opportunities and inform all clients about the benefits of participation and how to enroll in research.

Implementation

The Title IV program started in 1988 as the Pediatric AIDS Demonstration Projects. The projects originally served HIV-infected infants and children, infected pregnant women, and their families. They provided supportive care to families to help children with HIV receive medical care. Beginning in 1994, Congress funded the 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, the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) funded a Youth Initiative, which currently supports 17 youth-specific programs across the Nation. In 2006, Congress funded the Title IV programs(now referred to as Part D) 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.
