Black/African American

On
Black/African American clients are 44.5% of all clients, 87% are viral suppressed, 53% live below the federal poverty level and 46% are over 50 years old

Nearly half of those getting care from HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) are black/African American. Viral suppression rates are comparable to the overall RWHAP client population, but disparities remain. HIV care programs and technical assistance and training focus on overcoming such challenges as limited access to health services, stigma due to sexual orientation, and housing.
