Johns Hopkins Model: Ending Ryan White Program Would Increase New HIV Infections 49% by 2030
A Johns Hopkins computer simulation published in Annals of Internal Medicine projects that eliminating federal Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding would increase new HIV infections by 49% nationwide by 2030 — representing thousands of preventable infections annually. For FQHCs receiving Ryan White Part C/D funding: this threat makes ECM revenue layering and Medi-Cal billing optimization urgently important as a financial hedge.
The 2026 National Ryan White Conference (Aug 4-7, Washington DC) will focus on 'Strengthening our Foundation' — FQHC leaders should attend for advocacy and sustainability planning.
