Collected in partnership with the National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD), these data for Federal Fiscal Year 2006 are available by state and for the nation, and represent the latest available state-level data on all major federal funding streams for HIV/AIDS in the U.S.

Updated data include HIV/AIDS funding by state from the Ryan White Program, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program, and the Office of Minority Health (OMH).

Consumer Survey: Creating New Ryan White Comprehensive Care and Treatment Legislation

We need to hear from you!  NAPWA and the Campaign to End AIDS are facilitating a national dialogue on what the next Ryan White Legislation should look like.  We are looking for input from people who receive HIV/AIDS services to get their recommendations and suggestions as to what services look like.  We are asking that you take a couple of minutes and fill out this online survey.  All responses are anonymous. (If you have filled out a paper copy of this survey, you do not need to fill it out again)
