Show Notes
Thousands of low-income HIV patients face losing access to life-saving drugs as eighteen states cut back on Ryan White HIV AIDS Program assistance due to budget constraints. Federal funding has remained stagnant since 2014, while enrollments surged, straining state resources. Floridas cuts, including slashing income eligibility and dropping coverage for Biktarvy, have sparked panic among providers. Health experts warn these cuts could lead to higher transmission rates and undo progress in managing HIV as a chronic condition. Other states are considering similar limits, and a lawsuit challenges Floridas changes, but many patients may still lose steady care.
