Access to HIV care is not just a policy issue, it is a public health necessity. In Virginia, Ryan White Part B funding supports lifesaving medical care, medications, and essential services for people living with HIV. Recent funding reductions have created significant strain for providers and the communities they serve, raising serious concerns about health outcomes, prevention efforts, and long-term system stability. As budget negotiations continue, restoring this funding remains critical to protecting the health and well-being of Virginians.
