Approximately one-fourth of HRSA Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) clients are Hispanic/Latino. Viral suppression rates are slightly above the overall RWHAP average, and overall these clients are younger than average. Technical assistance and training resources focus on, for example, linguistic, cultural, and other barriers to health care.
