HHS Awards $95.6 Million for Community-Based HIV/AIDS Care

HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt has announced $95.6 million in grants to support community-based organizations that provide early intervention HIV/AIDS care and services to medically underserved populations.

Early Intervention Services (EIS) grants are being awarded to 176 community-based health centers, migrant health centers, hospitals, and other entities that provide outpatient HIV early intervention services and ambulatory care. These grants support clinical care; antiretroviral therapies; and ongoing medical, oral health, nutritional, psychosocial, and other treatment for HIV-positive individuals. Funds also support medical evaluation, risk-reduction counseling and case management.

“These competitive grants to local HIV/AIDS service providers are in addition to the formula funds that were sent to states, territories and hard-hit urban areas earlier in the year,” said Secretary Leavitt. “The reauthorized Ryan White program will do a better job of targeting care and services to underserved communities where HIV infection is on the rise.”

The EIS grants are awarded under Part C of Title XXVI of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended by the newly enacted Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006. Part C of Title XXVI of the PHS Act was previously referred to as Title III of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act, the predecessor statute.

The new law requires that Part C grantees spend 50 percent of their grant award on EIS, and 75 percent on newly-defined core medical services. For a complete list of these services and additional information on the new legislation, visit Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act.

Additional Part C grants are expected to be announced July 1.

HHS’ Health Resources and Services Administration administers the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, which provides life-saving care and services to more than 530,000 individuals every year. Visit the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau for information on all Ryan White programs.

More information on the FY 2007 Ryan White Part A and Part B grants awarded earlier in the year can be found on the HRSA News Room.
