    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.
