Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006

Summary

Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act - Amends the Public Health Service Act to maintain a metropolitan area's eligibility to receive an AIDS emergency relief grant until such area fails to meet eligibility requirements for three consecutive years. Amends the formula for awarding grant funds to consider the number of HIV/AIDS (currently, AIDS) cases. Requires the return of unexpended grant funds to the Secretary of Health and Human Services or the submission of an application for the use of such funds. Directs grantees to expend not less than 75% of grant funds received on core medical services. Allows the Secretary to grant waivers to such requirement under certain circumstances. Establishes a transitional grant program for metropolitan areas with lower numbers of AIDS cases. Requires the Secretary to develop and maintain a list of classes of core AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) antiretroviral medications. Requires states to ensure that such medications are the minimum required treatments to be included in any ADAP program. Limits the amount by which a grant to an eligible metropolitan area can decrease each year. Provides for supplemental grants to states that demonstrate a need for supplemental financial assistance. Allows the Secretary to award grants to assist states in providing eligible individuals appropriate access to pharmaceutical therapies. Establishes a grant program for the provision of family-centered care involving outpatient or ambulatory care for women, infants, children, and youth with HIV/AIDS. Provides for activities to evaluate and address the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS and disparities in access, treatment, care, and outcome on racial and ethnic minorities.
