Ryan White

& 340 B Services


The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act (Ryan White CARE Act), was an act of the United States Congress and is the largest federally funded program in the United States for people living with HIV/AIDS. The act sought funding to improve availability of and access to care for low-income, uninsured, and under-insured people affected by HIV/AIDS and their families.  The act is named in honor of Ryan White, an Indiana teenager who contracted AIDS through a tainted blood transfusion. He was diagnosed with AIDS in 1984 and was subsequently expelled from school because of the disease. White became a well-known advocate for AIDS research and awareness, until his death on April 8, 1990.
