Proposed Project: Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources and Emergency 
(CARE) Act Women's Initiatives (WIN)--New

    The Health Resources and Services Administration's HIV-AIDS Bureau 
proposes to collect information about HIV-related services provided to 
women of child-bearing age and their children. Information will be 
collected annually from eight grantees funded under Sections 2671 and 
2691 of the Public Health Service Act and 320 of the individual and 
institutional providers who provide services to HIV-infected pregnant 
women in the grantee service areas. The eight funded sites will collect 
the information in person or by telephone from the providers in their 
service areas, and forward the data collection forms to a HRSA 
contractor. There are no plans to collect or transmit the data 
electronically.
    The purpose is to document current care system characteristics and 
facilitate planning for services to women with HIV and their children. 
The information will be used within and outside HRSA to inform the 
administration and Congress about HIV counseling and testing services 
for pregnant women, services and referral resources for pregnant women 
with HIV, antiretroviral therapies, and outreach related to perinatal 
HIV transmission reduction. Annual burden estimates are as follows:
