I am a pediatrician who takes care of HIV exposed and infected infants and children. Part D is how many of our patients receive care. Removal of this funding source will leave many of the most vulnerable patients without access to care and may lead to increased infants becoming infected with HIV.
Part C funding does not have provisions for care to infants and children so these populations will be left without access to care.

#SaveRyanWhitePartD Flash Blog: “No HIV+ Women & Children Left Behind,” is a virtual event that will occur on 4/10/2014 to protest the proposed elimination of Ryan White Part D (healthcare/services for HIV+ women, youth, & families). Individuals from around the globe will participate in a peaceful Flash Blog protest, submitting over one hundred blog posts: poems, pictures, videos, and stories in support of the communities that stand to lose the most if this vital funding is cut.
