Pediatric Care
The Ryan White program is named in honor of Ryan White. He was a young person who was infected with HIV as a child, and died before he reached adulthood. Despite new cases of HIV infection in children falling to low levels in the United States, Ryan White providers continue to be the leaders in pediatric care. Adolescents, however, make up a high proportion of new HIV cases, and are more likely to go undiagnosed.
