HIV/AIDS Data Through December 2013 Provided for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, for Fiscal Year 2015. HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report, Volume 20, Number 3.

摘要

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program statute was first enacted into law in 1990 and amended in 1996, 2000, 2006, and 2009. In the implementation of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Parts A and B (formerly Titles I and II), HRSA HAB and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collaborate to ensure the appropriate HIV and AIDS surveillance data are used in determining eligibility and funding allocation amounts. In FY 2015, HRSA used total counts of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection non-AIDS and persons living with infection ever classified as AIDS. Prior to FY 2007, only AIDS cases, adjusted by survival rate (estimated number of persons living with HIV infection ever classified as AIDS), were used in the formula. Beginning in FY 2007, persons living with diagnosed HIV infection non-AIDS as well as persons living with infection ever classified as AIDS, as reported to and confirmed by the Director of CDC, were used to calculate funding allocation amounts. See Technical Notes for further explanation. The number of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection non-AIDS and the number of persons living with infection ever classified as AIDS are used to determine funding levels for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B. For FY 2015, CDC provided HRSA with data files containing the total number of persons reported living with diagnosed HIV infection non-AIDS and the total number of persons living with infection ever classified as AIDS through calendar year 2013 for all jurisdictions. The number of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection non-AIDS and the number of persons living with infection ever classified as AIDS were added together to arrive at the total number of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection non-AIDS and infection ever classified as AIDS for each eligible area: Eligible Metropolitan Area/Transitional Grant Area, Emerging Community, state, and territory. These totals were used in the RWHAP Part A and B funding formula calculations. FY 2015 is the third year in which HRSA calculated RWHAP Parts A and B funding amounts based on name-based HIV reporting for both the total number of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection non-AIDS and the total number of persons living with infection ever classified as AIDS across all jurisdictions. From FY 2007 through FY 2012, HRSA was required to accept code-based or non-name HIV non-AIDS data from jurisdictions without mature name-based data.
