AIDS Funding for Federal Government Programs:
FY1981-FY2006
Summary
Federal government AIDS spending is estimated at $19.7 billion in FY2005:
65% is for treatment programs; research receives 15%; income support programs
receive 10%; and prevention programs receive 10%. The government-wide request
level for FY2006 is $21.1 billion. AIDS programs within the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) account for 75% of the total amount spent on HIV/AIDS
by the federal government. Funding for HIV/AIDS research, prevention and
treatment programs within the HHS discretionary budget has increased from
$200,000 in FY1981 to an estimated $6.27 billion in FY2005; the Administration’s
request for FY2006 is $6.28 billion. Funding for HIV/AIDS treatment within HHS
entitlement programs has increased from $10 million in FY1983 to an estimated $8.6
billion in FY2005. Entitlement spending depends on the number of HIV/AIDS cases
that qualify; the estimate for FY2006 is $9.5 billion for HIV/AIDS treatment within
HHS entitlement programs.

AIDS Funding for Federal Government
Programs: FY1981-FY2006
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) impairs the immune system and
leaves affected individuals susceptible to certain opportunistic infections and cancer.
Since 1981, a cumulative total of 929,985 AIDS cases in the United States have been
reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).1 Of this total,
405,926 persons were reported to be living with AIDS as of the end of December
2003. In addition to the total number of people living with AIDS, another 351,614
persons were known to be infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
(in the 32 states and the Virgin Islands that have been reporting confidential name-
based HIV infection case numbers to CDC since 1999).
Federal government AIDS spending is estimated at $19.7 billion in FY2005 (see
Table 5). The Bush Administration request for FY2006 is $21.1 billion. Of the total
amount spent by the federal government on HIV/AIDS in FY2005, the majority
(65%) of funding is for treatment programs; funding for research receives 15% of the
total (see Figure 1 and Table 4). The remaining amounts are for prevention
programs (10%) and income support for persons with AIDS (10%).

CRS-2
AIDS programs within HHS (Health and Human Services) account for 75% of
the total amount spent on AIDS by the federal government (see Figure 2). HHS
entitlement funding supports the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients through Medicaid
and Medicare, which are administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS). HHS discretionary funding supports AIDS research and prevention
programs, as well as treatment programs. Table 2 provides a history of HHS
discretionary funding for HIV/AIDS from the beginning of the epidemic in FY1981
to the present. As shown in Figure 4 near the end of this report, funding for
HIV/AIDS programs within HHS has increased markedly over the past decade as
measured in constant 2000 dollars. However, most of the rise can be attributed to
increased spending on Medicaid, Medicare, and treatment programs in the
discretionary budget, largely through the Ryan White CARE Act program
administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The
increase in HIV/AIDS research and prevention programs has been much less
pronounced, and their portion of the total amount spent by HHS on HIV/AIDS has
declined over the past decade (see Figure 5). For example, in FY1992 HIV/AIDS
research and prevention programs at HHS accounted for 51% of the total amount
spent by HHS on HIV/AIDS; by FY2005, such programs were about 27% of the total
amount spent by HHS on HIV/AIDS, reflecting the growing amounts spent on
treatment services under Medicaid and Medicare.

CRS-3
About 93% of FY2005 HHS discretionary funding for HIV/AIDS is allocated
to three HHS agencies: the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which supports
HIV/AIDS research; CDC, which supports HIV/AIDS prevention programs; and,
HRSA, which administers the Ryan White CARE Act, an HIV/AIDS treatment
program (see Table 3 and Table 4). The budgets and activities of these three
agencies are briefly described below, followed by a discussion of entitlement
program spending on HIV/AIDS.
HHS Discretionary Funding: NIH, CDC, and HRSA
NIH. NIH is the principal agency of the federal government charged with the
conduct and support of biomedical and behavioral research. NIH conducts research
at its own 26 institutes and centers and supports over 50,000 scientists at 2,000 U.S.
institutions. NIH funding for FY2005 was provided in P.L. 108-447 (H.R. 4818),
and NIH estimates FY2005 funding for AIDS research at $2.92 billion. The
Administration’s request for FY2006 is $2.93 billion. Funding for AIDS research is
distributed among the NIH institutes in accordance with the scientific priorities
identified in the annual comprehensive plan for AIDS research developed by the
institutes along with the Office of AIDS Research (OAR).
OAR was established in statute by the National Institutes of Health
Revitalization Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-43) and given substantially enhanced authority
and responsibility beyond the office NIH had established under the same name.
Congress appropriated funds to OAR in FY1995. However, since FY1996, Congress
has not provided a direct appropriation for the OAR (aside from amounts identified
for the operations of the office itself). For FY2005, both the House and Senate
reports (H.Rept. 108-636 and S. Rept 108-345) accompanying the Labor, HHS, and
Education and Related Agencies Appropriation bills (H.R. 5006 and S. 2810) do not
specify a funding amount for AIDS research at NIH. Instead, funding for AIDS
research is included within the appropriation for each Institute/Center/Division of
NIH, with decisions as to specific projects to fund and levels of funding left to the
Director of NIH and the Director of OAR.
CDC. CDC works with community, state, national, and international public
health agencies to prevent HIV infection and reduce AIDS-associated morbidity and
mortality through its information and education programs. CDC also supports
research, surveillance, and epidemiology studies on HIV/AIDS. In prior fiscal years,
about 80% of CDC HIV funds were distributed to state and local agencies through
cooperative agreements, grants, and contracts. CDC funding for FY2005 was
provided in P.L. 108-447 (H.R. 4818). According to the HHS Budget Office, CDC
will be spending $856 million on HIV/AIDS activities in FY2005, and the
Administration’s request for FY2006 is $851 million. In order to reflect CDC’s new
budget structure, which excludes administrative and management costs, the FY2005
figure was adjusted downward by $74 million by the HHS Budget Office.
HRSA. The HIV/AIDS Bureau within HRSA administers the Ryan White
CARE Act, a four-part federal grant program designed to provide emergency relief
and essential health care services to patients infected with HIV. The program funds
hundreds of grantees that serve 533,000 people affected by HIV/AIDS each year.
HRSA funding for FY2005 was provided in P.L. 108-447 (H.R. 4818). According

---

CRS-4
to the HHS Budget Office, HRSA will be spending $2.075 billion for Ryan White
activities in FY2005. The Administration’s request for FY2006 is $2.085 billion.
The HRSA FY2005 budget figure was adjusted downward by the HHS Budget Office
by $5 million, an amount that represented HRSA program management costs. (For
further information on Ryan White programs, see CRS Report 98-476, AIDS: Ryan
White CARE Act.)
HHS Entitlement Funding: Medicaid and Medicare at CMS
Medicaid. Medicaid is a federal-state matching entitlement program that
provides medical assistance for eligible low-income persons and families and certain
aged, disabled, and medically needy individuals. Within broad federal guidelines,
each state designs and administers its own Medicaid program, resulting in wide
variations among the states in coverage, benefits offered, and payment for services.
The portion of a state’s Medicaid budget provided by the federal government varies
from 50% in relatively affluent states to 80% in poorer states. Medicaid is the largest
source of federal funding for AIDS treatment and health care services (see Figure 3).

For FY2005, the federal share of Medicaid spending on AIDS treatment is
estimated at $5.7 billion, and for FY2006 the federal share estimate is $6.3 billion.

estimated $11.1 billion ($6.3 billion federal and $4.8 billion state).2 According to
CMS, approximately 55% of adults with AIDS and up to 90% of children with AIDS
depend on Medicaid to pay for their care. In order to obtain Medicaid coverage,
persons must belong to one of the categories of persons who can qualify for coverage
(such as families with children and disabled persons) and have low income or deplete
their income on the cost of their care. Medicaid plays an important role in needed
health care for persons with HIV and AIDS because of its coverage of prescription
drugs.
Medicare. Medicare is a federal health care insurance program for the elderly
and certain disabled persons. In general, in order to qualify for coverage under
Medicare, a person must be age 65 or older, disabled, or suffering from kidney failure
(end-stage renal disease or ESRD). According to one estimate, by the end of 1996,
about 12% of people living with AIDS were covered by Medicare; 83% of these
beneficiaries qualified because of a disability,3 the remainder were eligible because
they were 65 or older or had ESRD.4 The elderly qualify the month they turn 65, and
those with ESRD qualify within three months of being diagnosed with irreversible
kidney disease requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. However, disabled people,
including those with AIDS, must wait for a total of 29 months after a determination
that they are disabled before they become eligible for Medicare coverage.5
Early in the epidemic, few individuals with AIDS survived the long waiting
period. With improved drug therapies, the life expectancy of individuals with HIV
has increased, and it is expected that the number able to qualify for Medicare
coverage will continue to rise.6 Medicare currently does not cover prescription drugs.
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (P.L.
108-173) provides for the implementation of a prescription drug program effective
January 1, 2006. In the interim, the legislation requires the Secretary of HHS to
establish a temporary prescription drug discount card program to provide discounts
to persons who have elected to enroll in a card plan; this interim program also
provides $600 in assistance in both 2004 and 2005 for low-income persons enrolled

as a whole.
3 An HIV-positive individual must have a recognized AIDS-defining illness in order to meet
the disability classification.

5 Disabled people begin collecting Social Security disability cash benefits five months after
a determination that they are disabled and then must wait an additional 24 months for a total
of 29 months before becoming eligible for Medicare.
6 Combination drug therapies do not work for everyone with HIV. However, for individuals
who are successfully treated, the drug therapies will keep them healthy longer, thereby
preventing some from qualifying for disability.

in the card program.7 For FY2005, funding for the care of persons with HIV/AIDS
under Medicare is estimated to be $2.9 billion, and the estimate for FY2006 is $3.2
billion. Once Medicare’s new outpatient prescription drug benefit is implemented
in 2006, Medicare spending for persons with HIV/AIDS may increase significantly
beyond current estimates.
Funding for Other AIDS Programs
HIV/AIDS Minority Initiative. In 1998 the White House announced a series
of initiatives targeting appropriated funds for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment
programs in minority communities. The Congressional Black Caucus worked with
the Clinton Administration to formulate the approach. For FY2005, a total of $398.7
million is provided to continue these activities. For FY2006, the Administration has
requested $394.5 million. See Table 1 below for further details.

Ricky Ray Hemophilia Relief Fund. The Ricky Ray Hemophilia Act of
1998 established within the Treasury Department a trust fund to provide
compassionate payments of $100,000 to individuals who have blood clotting
disorders, such as hemophilia, and who contracted HIV due to contaminated blood
products administered between July 1, 1982 and December 31, 1987.8 For FY2000,

Social Services Emergency Fund) $75 million for the trust fund; $10 million of the
total was for program management. The trust fund, known as the Ricky Ray
Hemophilia Relief Fund, was administered by HRSA. Payments were made to
eligible individuals who filed petitions (with the required documentation) postmarked
between July 31, 2000 and November 13, 2001. Payments were made in the order
in which the petitions were received. HRSA received more than 5,700 petitions. For
FY2001 the trust fund was appropriated $580 million. According to the HRSA
website, more than $555 million in compassionate payments have been made to more
than 7,100 eligible individuals. All eligible petitions have been processed for
payment. The Administration did not request appropriations for the trust fund for
subsequent years because prior funding was sufficient to make compassionate
payments on all eligible petitions. The trust fund was terminated in November 2003.9
International HIV/AIDS Programs. As indicated in Table 6, federal
government spending on international HIV/AIDS programs in FY2005 is $2.59
billion; the Administration’s request for FY2006 is $3.03 billion.10 On January 28,
2003, President Bush announced in the State of the Union speech a new five-year $15
billion Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.11 The emergency plan targets countries
with a very high prevalence of HIV infection: Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia,
Guyana, Haiti, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa,
Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, and Zambia. In the targeted countries, the goals of the
five-year plan are to prevent 7 million new infections, provide treatment to 2 million
HIV-infected people, and provide care for 10 million HIV-infected individuals and
AIDS orphans. Details of the Administration’s plans can be found in a report
released by the Department of State on February 23, 2004.12
On June 19, 2002, President Bush announced the Mother-to-Child HIV
Prevention Initiative, a $500 million program that targets the countries mentioned
above that have been hard hit by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The goal of the Mother-
to-Child HIV Prevention Initiative is to improve health care delivery and reduce
mother-to-infant transmission of HIV by 40% within five years.13 The Administration
requested $200 million in FY2003 and $300 million in FY2004. Funding for the

international HIV/AIDS programs. On July 2, 2003, President Bush nominated Randall
Tobias as coordinator for international HIV/AIDS assistance at the Department of State, a
position created by H.R. 1298. The appointment has the rank of ambassador, reporting
directly to the Secretary of State.

Initiative was provided by the Foreign Operations appropriation through the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Labor, HHS appropriation
through international HIV/AIDS programs at CDC. Congress provided $140 million
for the Mother-to-Child HIV Prevention Initiative in FY2003 ($100 million through
USAID and $40 million through CDC) and full funding of $300 million for FY2004
($150 million via both USAID and CDC). For FY2005, the Administration has
proposed continuing the Mother-to-Child HIV Prevention Initiative within the budget
of the Department of State.
A third program, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculous and Malaria, was
first proposed at the July 2000 G-8 Summit in Okinawa.14 The purpose of the Global
Fund is to attract, manage and disburse funding through a public-private partnership
dedicated to the reduction of infections, illness and death caused by these three
diseases in countries in need. The concept of the Global Fund was unanimously
endorsed at a special session on HIV/AIDS held by the United Nations General
Assembly in June 2001. The Global Fund was established in January 2002 as a
charitable foundation in Geneva, Switzerland; the first round of grants was approved
in April 2002. U.S. support of the fund occurs through USAID and HHS.15
