11 Ryan Wayne White (December 6, 1971 – April 8, 1990) was an American teenager from Kokomo, Indiana, who became a national poster child for HIV/AIDS in the United States, after being expelled from middle school because of his infection. He battled discrimination and bullying while in high school and helped to shed light on HIV/AIDS.

12  More funds = More staff.  6 case managers and 5 nurses per 2,000 patients.  They add new patients with the same budget, money runs out.

13  Worried about Affordable Care Act.  All patients would be covered.  Might shift the funds provided by Ryan White.  It will turn into a specialty clinic; meaning it would no longer be a “one stop shop”.

14  Males are higher in number  9 out of 10 women find out they are HIV positive only when they are pregnant  12 patients died last year  San Antonio is known for “late to care”.  $1,200-$2,000 for each prescription.
