HIV/AIDS Surveillance Supplemental Report, Volume 14, Number 1. HIV/AIDS Data through December 2006. Provided for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006, for Fiscal Year 2008

摘要

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Program (formerly the Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act) was first enacted into law in 1990, and amended in 1996, 2000, and 2006. The 2006 amendments, referred to as the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006, established new criteria for eligibility determination for Eligible Metropolitan Areas (EMA) and Emerging Communities (EC), and introduced a new funding category under Part A (formerly Title I) of the law. The new category of grantees is termed Transitional Grant Areas (TGA). The 2006 amendments also changed the data requirements used for the formula award allocations. In FY2008, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), for the second year in a row, used counts of living cases of HIV in the Parts A and B (formerly Titles I and II) allocation formulae.
