Ryan White CARE Act Title II grants are awarded to all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and eligible US Territories using a formula based on the estimated number of living AIDS cases. [1] These funds may be used to provide a range of community-based services for persons living with HIV (PLWH).

Fifty-five Ryan White CARE Act Title II grantees contracted with 1,428 agencies/organizations (otherwise referred to as providers) to provide CARE Act eligible services to HIV-positive individuals. They served a total of 650,014 clients of which 575,925 were HIV-positive duplicated clients and 74,089 were affected [2] duplicated clients.

  • (*) Data reported in this table are based on valid reports only. Valid data are defined as providers reporting complete data for both the number of clients served and number of visits.
  • For each service type, the actual number of providers serving clients is higher. However, the average number of visits per client was calculated only for those providers with valid data for number of clients served and number of client visits.
  • Providers may offer multiple services; thus, a provider may be included in more than one service category.
  • A client may only have one visit for each service per day. For residential substance abuse treatment, each day in a residence facility equals one visit.

Data Considerations

Data in this presentation were submitted by Title II providers, many of whom also receive funds from other sources, including other CARE Act Titles (i.e., Title II, Title III, Title IV, and/or Title IV-Youth). Since many providers do receive funds from multiple CARE Act Titles, it is often impossible for them to distinguish which funds paid for various services they provide. Therefore, the data in these slides do not necessarily reflect services rendered or clients served exclusively with Title II funds. Rather, it is a presentation of provider, client, and service characteristics for providers who received Title II funds.

These data can not be compared with Title I, II, III, IV, or Title IV-Youth data collected prior to 2002. In previous years, HRSA/HAB used separate, Title-specific data systems to collect client and service information from CARE Act grantees and providers. Providers who received funding from multiple CARE Act sources were required to complete separate data reporting forms for each Title-funding they received. Under the new CADR reporting system implemented in 2002, all providers, even those who are multiply-funded, complete one CADR, and report on all clients served regardless of funding source. This provides HRSA/HAB with a comprehensive picture of how CARE Act funds are being used to deliver health care and support services to families living with and affected by HIV disease.

Ryan White CARE Act providers have the option of reporting on eligible or funded services[3]. When they report on eligible services, providers are reporting on any service permitted under any Title of the CARE Act, regardless of whether or not the providers use a specific Title to pay for these services. Conversely, if providers report on funded services, the data they report only includes those services that were actually paid for using CARE Act funds. Reporting eligible services provides a comprehensive picture of the services being delivered to HIV-positive clients.

Title II grantees have numerous providers under subcontract and each of these providers completes the same CADR. While data are unduplicated at the provider level, any summary of the total number of clients served and their demographic characteristics at the grantee or national level may result in duplicated client counts.
Since these data are aggregated at the national or grantee level, clients that may have been new to one provider could be continuing services to another service provider.

Clients served include all individuals who had at least one visit for any eligible service provided by a Title II provider during the reporting period, regardless of additional funding source.

An affected client is a family member or partner of an infected client who received case management or other supportive services during the calendar year. Affected clients include those who are HIV negative as well as those with unknown HIV status. Affected clients include those receiving Title I and II Early Intervention Services. Affected family members of HIV positive patients are served under Title IV.

“New” clients include clients whose first receipt of services from the provider agency occurred during the reporting period.

[1] The estimated number of living AIDS cases are calculated by applying annual survival weights to ten years of reported AIDS cases and summing the totals. The CDC calculates the survival weights and provides HRSA with these data as well as the most recent 10 years of reported AIDS cases.

[2] An affected client is a family member or partner of an infected client who received case management or other supportive services during the calendar year.

[3] All grantees and providers must report on eligible services unless they have prior permission from their HRSA project officer to report only funded services.
