HRSA-HIV/AIDS Bureau
HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) was formed in August 1997 to consolidate all programs funded under the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act. HAB is the largest single source (next to the Medicaid and Medicare programs) of federal funding for HIV/AIDS care for low-income, un- and underinsured individuals. Each year at least 533,000 individuals are touched by the Ryan White CARE Act by receiving one or more services from providers that are funded by the Act.

Pennsylvania's Expanded HIV Testing Initiative (PEHTI)
In recognition of the continued spread of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released revised guidelines for HIV testing in health care settings in 2006, calling for routine incorporation of HIV screening into general clinical care. Grants to help achieve this were awarded to 30 jurisdictions in the United States, including Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. PEHTI is a collaborative initiative between the Pennsylvania Department of Health and several Pennsylvania Universities/technical support entities (please note that the Philadelphia Department of Health manages a separate Expanded HIV Testing Initiative within the Philadelphia County jurisdiction). PEHTI is a statewide effort and is currently working with community health clinics, emergency departments, correctional facilities, outpatient settings, and residency programs to expand routine HIV testing.
