Fighting HIV/AIDS was deemed difficult in the United States due to the levels of poverty
that the majority were living in. In 1990, the United States Congress enacted The Ryan White
Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act to help fight the disease. According to
Human Resource & Service Administration (2019), this was the largest federal program focused

who are uninsured or underserved. This act aim was to provides a comprehensive system of HIV
primary medical care, essential support services, and medications for people living with HIV to
improve health outcomes and reduce HIV transmission among hard-to-reach populations
(HRSA,2019).
In order to provide a flexible structure, the act has been amended to five parts so as to
have all patients needs covered. These parts are; Part A- Hard hit urban areas, Part B- States and
territories and AIDS drug assistance programs, Part C- Community based early Intervention, Part
D- Woman, infants, children and youths and Part F- Dental programs, SPNS models of care,
clinical training and Global HIV/AIDS programs. According to HRSA (2019), “Part A funds

and territories to improve the quality, availability, and organization of HIV health care, support
services and grants for AIDS drug assistance.”
“Part C focuses on local community-based organizations to provide comprehensive
primary health care and support services in an outpatient setting for people living with HIV
through Early Intervention Services program grants and also fund capacity development grants.
Part D administers funds for local, community-based organizations to provide outpatient,
