    Implications of the Affordable Care Act for People With HIV Infection and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program: What Does the Future Hold?

    Issue Brief

    There are numerous aspects of the Affordable Care Act that will be important for people with HIV in the U.S., -- however, it is unlikely that these changes will address all the needs of people with HIV.

This article, published in the September/October issue of Topics in Antiviral Medicine, summarizes a presentation by Jennifer Kates of the Kaiser Family Foundation at the IAS–USA continuing education program held in New York, New York, in April 2013.
