HRSA awards grants for HIV/AIDS care, medications

The Health Resources and Services Administration Friday awarded cities, counties, states and community organizations $2.27 billion in fiscal year 2019 grants to support medical and support services, including medications, for people with HIV/AIDS. "For nearly three decades, HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program has played a critical role in the United States' response to ending the HIV epidemic,” said HRSA Acting Administrator Tom Engels. "These grants will help ensure that Americans with HIV/AIDS have access to life-saving care and treatment needed to improve their health quality and medical outcomes."
