GAO reviewed the extent to which HIV-infected groups, such as African-Americans, Hispanics, women, and injection drug users received medical and support services funded by the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act of 1990. GAO visited five locations--Baltimore, Denver, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.--and found that all three groups generally used services at a rate that reflect their representation in the HIV-inflected population in those areas. Medical and support services providers said that this corresponds to their experience of the usage of Ryan White Care Act-funded services. These providers and advocates added, however, that barriers may limit some groups' access to services. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-49/html/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-49.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-49/pdf/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-49.pdf GAO/HEHS-95-49 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-HEHS-95-49 Letter Report GAO/HEHS-95-49; Ryan White Care Act: Access to Services by Minorities, Women, and Substance Abusers; Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome Federal funds State-administered programs Health care services Health resources utilization Drug abuse Infectious diseases Women Health care programs Minorities Baltimore (MD) Denver (CO) Los Angeles (CA) Sacramento (CA) Maryland AIDS Public Law 101-381
