The purpose of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part D program is to provide family-centered care in outpatient or ambulatory care settings to low-income women (25 years and older) with HIV, infants (up to 2 years of age) exposed to or with HIV, children (ages 2 to 12) with HIV, and youth (ages 13 to 24) with HIV. The RWHAP Part D funding is intended to improve access to coordinated and comprehensive HIV medical care and support services). The services often include case management, behavioral health, nutrition services, and referrals to specialty care.

As the only component of the RWHAP that supports services for affected individuals not living with HIV, Part D may fund services when the primary purpose is to enable the affected individual to participate in the care of a person with HIV, to directly remove barriers to care for the person with HIV, or to promote family stability.
