The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) is a federal program dedicated to providing the best care to people with HIV. Funds go to states and communities to deliver services.
The main purpose of this website is to present resources to help RWHAP agencies deliver HIV care. There are also resources for people with HIV. The RWHAP has a legislative requirement of consumer involvement, which helps keep the program on the right track. Consumer-focused resources include involvement of consumers/people with HIV in planning councils, advisory boards, and peer programs (where people with HIV support others to help keep them in care).
But the most important role for you is to take care of your health. This means keeping appointments, taking medications, and asking for help and support from friends, family, and professionals like physicians, nurses, case managers and counselors.
Currently in care? Contact your case manager, your doctor, your nurse.
Explore the following Library topics and websites for resources developed to date. Also, access the Technical Assistance Directory for current projects that deliver support to RWHAP agencies.
