Orientation Resources for Ryan White Staff

Disclaimer: Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
 

TargetHIV

Any reasonably well functioning agency will have some type of new employee orientation. Ryan White agencies should put a premium on orientation given the amount of turnover in the HIV workforce. Add to that the passage of time and potential loss of institutional knowledge, the phrase “retired” is the new status of countless founders, veterans and long-time survivors who put the nation’s HIV infrastructure in place.

Basics on the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program represents a comprehensive system of HIV care. Its various Parts (funding streams) operate to serve varied populations and needs. That framework is outlined in the Ryan White legislation. 

HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau website outlines the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in total. Among the featured items is Living History, a website covering just about every facet of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program: its Parts, Populations, the Legislation, a Timeline.
