For Consumers

Who we are

 The HIV Care Program (HCP) is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration’​s (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (Part B). HCP is part of a comprehensive system of care that includes primary medical care and essential support services for people living with HIV who are low income and uninsured or underinsured.

The availability of services may differ from county to county. Services may include such things as outpatient medical care, case management, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, health education, housing services, transportation services, dental care, and food bank.
