Ryan White Part B Program

The Ryan White Part B Program in the State of Kansas has been assisting Kansans living with HIV before the enactment of the The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 1990. The program assists with medications through statewide AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), medical case management, primary care services, dental care services, mental health and substance abuse services through the House Opportunities for People with Aids (HOPWA) program.

The purpose of these funds is to provide care for persons living with HIV infection who are not covered by public or private sources. These resources assure that all Kansans living with HIV infection throughout the state have access to the resources to monitor, adhere, and treat infection, in order to achieve the highest quality of life possible.
