The Ryan White Part A Program is responsible for distributing grant funds to HIV/AIDS service organizations, community-based clinics, hospitals, and public institutions located throughout the County. Part A services include outpatient medical care, prescription drugs, oral health care, substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, medical case management, prescription drug co-payments, medical insurance deductibles, support to AIDS Insurance Continuation Program (AICP), home health care, legal support, food assistance, and transportation services. More than 12,000 persons living with HIV or AIDS are served through the County's Ryan White Program on an annual basis.
Miami-Dade County receives additional funding under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act to reduce disparities and improve health outcomes for eligible HIV+ persons from racial/ethnic minorities. This funding is known as the Ryan White Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI).
