Abstract: People living with HIV/AIDS will have a greater need for long-term care options as the disease develops into a chronic, rather than an acute, condition. Nursing homes, a major component in the long-term care continuum, traditionally have been reluctant to admit PWAs, forcing some states to adopt incentive programs to encourage such admissions. The efficacy of such programs, however, has not been studied. This article will examine Florida's Medicaid AIDS nursing home admission incentive program, focusing on its effect on PWA admission rates in the state.
