In fiscal year 2004, over $2 billion in funding was provided through the CARE Act, the majority of which was distributed through Title I grants to eligible metropolitan areas (EMA) and Title II grants to states, the District of Columbia, and territories. Titles I and II use formulas to distribute grants according to a jurisdiction's reported count of AIDS cases. Title II includes grants for state-administered AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAP), which provide medications to HIV-infected individuals. GAO was asked to discuss the distribution of funding under the CARE Act. This testimony presents preliminary findings on (1) the impact of CARE Act provisions that distribute funds based upon the number of AIDS cases in metropolitan areas, (2) the impact of CARE Act provisions that limit annual funding decreases, (3) the potential shifts in funding among grantees if HIV case counts were incorporated with the AIDS cases that are currently used in funding formulas, and (4) the variation in eligibility criteria and funding sources among state ADAPs. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-841T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-841T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-841T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-841T.pdf GAO-05-841T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-841T Testimony GAO-05-841T; Ryan White CARE Act: Factors that Impact HIV and AIDS Funding and Client Coverage; Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Data collection Eligibility criteria Eligibility determinations Federal aid to localities Federal funds Grants to states Health care services Infectious diseases Jurisdictional authority Program management AIDS Drug Assistance Program HIV/AIDS Volume 104 Page 576 104 Stat. 576
