ities Advocating Emergency AIDS Relief
(CAEAR) is a national coalition that advocates for sound public
health policies and resources related to the critical health care
and supportive service needs of people living with HIV disease in
the United States. |
The Coalition is a national representative organization focusing on the
needs of individuals and programs dependent on resources from Title I and
Title III of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE)
Act. The CARE Act, first passed by Congress in 1990, was reauthorized in
1996 for five years through September 30, 2000.

The CAEAR Coalition has prepared this document to inform the Members of
Congress, the Administration, and the public about key policy perspectives
from consumers of HIV/AIDS services, HIV/AIDS service providers, and
concerned citizens who are affiliated with Ryan White CARE Act Title I and
Title III. The Coalition has received input from hundreds of individuals
through its own regular membership meetings, planning council surveys, and
special meetings of CAEAR members in December of 1998 and May 1999, which
focused entirely on CARE Act reauthorization issues.
The CAEAR Coalition's policy recommendations on CARE Act
reauthorization center on the key questions and their answers, as
presented below briefly. Expanded discussion of these questions can be
found in the attached document.
