  Public Financing and Delivery of HIV/AIDS Care: Securing the Legacy of Ryan White Released: May 13, 2004

  In the late 1990s, the number of deaths from AIDS dropped 43% as a result of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Unfortunately, the complex system in place for financing and delivering publicly financed HIV care undermines the significant advances that have been made in the development of new technologies to treat it. This IOM report, Public Financing and Delivery of HIV/AIDS Care: Securing the Legacy of Ryan White, examines the current standard of care for HIV patients and assesses the extent the system currently used for financing and delivering care allows individuals with HIV to actually receive it.
