Book excerpt: MAI was established in 1998 in response to growing concern about the impact of HIV/AIDS on racial and ethnic minorities in the United States. According to the most recent CDC data, there were an estimated 23,734 AIDS diagnoses in 2011 among persons of minority races/ethnicities, accounting for 74 percent of total AIDS diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas; these data reflect an overall trend present since 1994. National HIV/AIDS data indicate that since 1994 minorities have become a significant majority of persons with HIV/AIDS. In 2011, Blacks/African-Americans accounted for 13 percent of the U.S. population, but accounted for 49 percent of AIDS diagnoses; Hispanics/Latinos accounted for 17 percent of the population, but accounted for 21 percent of AIDS diagnoses; and Caucasians/Whites accounted for 74 percent of the population, but accounted for 26 percent of AIDS diagnoses.

Book excerpt: " According to CDC data, racial and ethnic minorities in the United States-particularly Blacks/African-Americans and Hispanics/Latinos-have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, representing 72 percent of new HIV infections and 74 percent of all AIDS diagnoses in 2011. In addition to core funding programs through CDC and HRSA that are intended to provide services to all qualifying individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, MAI seeks to improve HIV-related health outcomes and reduce health disparities for minority communities through the provision of grant funds. MAI grants are distributed to a variety of entities. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 required GAO to (1) examine the services provided, population served, and administrative challenges faced by MAI grantees, and (2) describe the best practices identified by grantees and other stakeholders for community outreach and capacity building. GAO conducted a review of services reported in fiscal year 2011 MAI grantee annual reports from a generalizable sample of 100 grantees, and interviewed agency officials and other stakeholders. GAO also reviewed grant administrative requirements, and data on MAI grant amounts and populations served. "

This book was released on 2001 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) represents the nation's chief public health program managers who have programmatic responsibility for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs. The Supplemental Technical Assistance, Testing and United Services (STATUS) Project is a key part of NASTAD's response to the Minority AIDS Initiative (formerly known as the Congressional Black Caucus Initiative) to better serve communities of color disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS. The STATUS Project focuses on three primary areas: 1.) technical assistance and capacity building assistance (TA/CBA) provided by health departments to minority CBOs; 2.) targeted testing efforts (including the use of rapid tests); and 3.) referral efforts linking HIV counseling and testing with medial and other support services. Through this research project, funded by CDC in August 1999, NASTAD had the opportunity to identify model health department programs and initiatives and to position health departments to lead future national initiatives in these areas. This report examines only the first area of focus--technical assistance and capacity building; a separate report will examine issues relating to targeted testing and referrals." - p. 3

Book excerpt: Estimates the effect on Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency Act (CARE Act) funding to urban areas (UA) if a certain stop-loss provision is enacted. Under the CARE Act, funding for UA is provided through three categories of grants: (1) formula grants that are awarded based on the case counts of people with HIV/AIDS in an UA; (2) supplemental grants that are awarded on a competitive basis based on an UA's demonstration of need; and (3) Minority AIDS Initiative grants, which are awarded to UA to address disparities in access, treatment, care, and health outcomes. This report developed an estimate of CARE Act funding with the stop-loss provision in, and also developed an estimate of such funding without that provision. Ill.
