Trump
Administration Awards $1 Million in Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Grants
to Counties to Strengthen Efforts to End the HIV Epidemic in the
United States
Today, the Trump Administration, through the Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), awarded approximately
$1 million in Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grants to 10 metropolitan
areas that are Part A jurisdictions to provide technical assistance
to enhance efforts to end the HIV epidemic. This funding through
HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau supports a comprehensive system of HIV
primary medical care, medication, and essential support services to
more than half a million people with HIV in the United States.
“Today, on National HIV Testing Day, we are proud to
be taking initial steps to support the implementation of President
Trump’s strategy to end the HIV epidemic in America by 2030,” said
HHS Secretary Alex Azar. “The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program has a long
track record of success in providing HIV treatment, and the
President’s plan to end the HIV epidemic involves building on that
success.”
