The Kentucky Department for Public Health HIV/AIDS Branch assesses the current and future impact of HIV in Kentucky. The branch is composed of Surveillance, Prevention and Service programs. The surveillance section is responsible for the documentation and maintenance of the HIV/AIDS cases reported to them by HIV testing entities. The Prevention section provides HIV prevention education to those at risk for infection and to licensed professionals providing interventions. The services program receives the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act Title II grant. The CARE Act is a federal mandate that was created to address health care and service needs of People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A) disease. The intent of the services program is to facilitate the provision of quality care and services to PLWH/A disease in a timely manner that is consistent across a continuum of care. These services are mainly provided via a network of programs established at local health departments, local clinics and community based organizations in various regions of the state.

Waiting List? - Sometimes a state has a waiting list people have to stay on until spaces become available. Kentucky does not have a Waiting List.

You may need to try a Patient Assistance Program or apply for Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance. Do not ever drop your private insurance without first seeing if your state will cover part or the whole premium, especially if you have children. Please do not send completed Patient Assistance Program applications to The Access Project.
