Lessons learned on developing oral health services for people with HIV, based on experiences of a SPNS national research and evaluation demonstration project.
Part F Dental Programs of HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) focus on funding oral health care for people with HIV/AIDS, supplementing the dental care provided by other Ryan White programs. The Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) helps accredited dental or dental hygiene education programs with unreimbursed costs of oral health care delivered to people with HIV/AIDS. The Community-Based Dental Partnership Program (CBDPP) delivers HIV dental care while simultaneously training dental professionals in order to expand community capacity to deliver HIV/AIDS oral health care.
- RWHAP programs can contact HRSA project officers and technical assistance and training partners for support.
- Visit the Oral Health Care topic page and the AETC National Coordinating Resource Center (NCRC) for tools tailored for oral health professionals.
- Use the Ryan White Community Map or Program Locator to find a RWHAP recipient.
