The Ryan White CARE Act (Comprehensive Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Resources Emergency) enacted by Congress in 1990 aims to increase accessibility to health care and support services for persons living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 

DHHS receives funding from the HRSA Ryan White CARE Act Title II and CARE Act Title I funding from the Boston Public Health Commission, to provide life-sustaining medications and to ensure quality clinical and case management services to NH residents who are infected with HIV and are not eligible for medical assistance under Medicaid.  These services include: 

• prescription medication coverage,
• health insurance continuation,
• primary and specialty care services,
• home health care, and
• case management.

If you have questions about how to apply for assistance under the CARE program, talk to your health care provider or call the NH CARE Program at 603-271-4502 or 1-800-852-3345, ext. 4502 (toll-free from within NH).
