Use HRSA’s Find a Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Medical Provider tool. Enter a city, state or ZIP code and adjust the search radius, currently 10–100 miles. Call a listed provider to ask about intake, eligibility, services and appointments. A listing does not guarantee immediate enrollment or every support service. You can also start with our locator.[1][5]
The locator, and how to search it well
HRSA’s locator accepts a city, state or ZIP code and offers radius choices from 10 to 100 miles. Its introduction also describes searching by address or place name. HRSA’s data website identifies this as the official Ryan White medical-provider locator.[1][3]
If the first search returns no suitable provider, widen the radius or try a nearby city or ZIP code. Call the listed clinic before traveling to confirm it offers the care you need and is accepting new patients. If transportation is difficult, ask about local referrals, telehealth or transportation assistance where available.[5]
What the Ryan White program actually is
Ryan White fills gaps when insurance or other payment sources do not cover needed HIV care. HRSA’s 2024 annual report records 601,853 clients receiving services from funded providers. HRSA describes the program as reaching more than half of people with diagnosed HIV in the United States. The count is program clients served during 2024, not a current enrollment count at any one moment.[10][2][4]
It is administered by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau, which awards grants to cities, states, counties, and community-based organizations[2]. That structure is why the provider near you might be a hospital clinic, a county health department, or a small community nonprofit — all three can be Ryan White providers.
Who qualifies, and what happens at intake
Ryan White serves people with diagnosed HIV and low incomes who need assistance with care that insurance or other resources do not cover. HRSA’s eligibility policy also requires residence in the relevant service area; local programs define income limits and documentation. Having insurance does not automatically disqualify you. For immigration-related questions, ask the Ryan White intake team about that program’s rules; Medicaid and Marketplace coverage have separate rules. Our immigration and HIV medication guide explains those distinctions.[10][5]
At intake, ask for an eligibility worker or case manager. They can explain available services, help with coverage applications and tell you about possible charges. Assignment and appointment procedures vary. Ask which HIV diagnosis, income, residency and insurance documents the site accepts, and request help if records are missing.[5]
The five parts, in plain language
Ryan White is organized into parts, and knowing which is which tells you who to ask for what[2]:
- Part A — grants to Eligible Metropolitan Areas and Transitional Grant Areas for medical and support services in the cities and counties most affected by HIV.
- Part B — grants to the 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and six territories to improve access to HIV care; this is also where ADAP lives, providing medications to low-income people with HIV.
- Part C — grants to local community-based groups for outpatient ambulatory health services and capacity to deliver quality HIV care.
- Part D — family-centered outpatient primary and specialty medical care for eligible women, infants, children and youth with HIV. Certain support for affected family members may also be funded when it benefits the person with HIV; it is not unrestricted medical coverage for every family member.[11]
- Part F — AIDS Education and Training Centers, Special Projects of National Significance, oral health care through dental schools and residency programs, and the Minority AIDS Initiative.
There are five parts, A through F with no active Part E[2]. If you are pregnant or parenting, ask specifically about Part D services at your site.
What it covers beyond doctor visits
Ryan White can fund support categories such as child care, food assistance, medical transportation, housing support, mental-health-related support, legal and language services, emergency assistance, case management and referrals. Each recipient’s funding priorities, eligibility rules and service limits determine what is available locally. Ask about the specific barriers affecting your care.[5]
If the Ryan White locator comes back empty for your area, fall back to HIV.gov's HIV Testing Sites & Care Services Locator, which also returns housing, mental health, and substance use services[6], and then call the nearest listed site to ask who handles Ryan White eligibility locally[1].
Ryan White in Florida: the Part B network
Florida’s Part B network supports eligible people across the state and fills gaps in HIV medical and support services. Florida DOH’s current community-programs page says it funds 14 Part B HIV care consortia and links the lead-agency directory. Ask which agency handles eligibility for your county.[7][8]
The state’s published lead-agency PDF is a useful starting point, but its older revision date means contacts should be confirmed. Use the current state community-programs page, HRSA locator or Florida HIV/AIDS Hotline at 800-352-2437 to find the right intake office. For Florida ADAP eligibility questions, call 844-381-2327.[8][12][9][7]
Related questions
What is a Ryan White provider?
Do I have to be uninsured to use Ryan White?
Will I be charged anything?
Ask the provider for its schedule of charges and any cap on HIV-related out-of-pocket costs. HRSA’s Part A guidance bars charges for clients at or below 100% of the federal poverty level, sets limits above that level and prohibits denying services because a client cannot pay. Your intake team can explain the rules for your program and income.[5][13]
How is ADAP related to Ryan White?
ADAP is part of Ryan White Part B and helps eligible people access HIV medicines. Local care intake and ADAP enrollment may require separate steps. In Florida, current assistance includes direct medication for eligible uninsured clients and medication copay/deductible help for eligible insured clients; premium assistance remains unavailable.[2][12]
