RIN 0938–AJ13

Medicaid Program; Decision on

Funding for the AIDS Healthcare

Foundation START Program

AGENCY: Health Care Financing

Administration (HCFA), HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

award of a grant in the sum of $1

million to the AIDS Healthcare

Foundation of Los Angeles for a

demonstration project entitled, ‘‘START

PROGRAM: Success Through AntiRetroviral Therapy.’’

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Wayne Smith, Ph.D., Center for

Medicaid and State Operations, (410)

786–6762.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

award is made based on language in

H.R. Conf. Rept. 105–390 at 86 (1997)

attendant to our agency’s administrative

budget authorization for Fiscal Year

1998 that directed us to devote

‘‘$1,000,000 within research to conduct

a demonstration of residential treatment

facilities at the AIDS Healthcare

Foundation in Los Angeles.’’

The START program is a 4- to 6-week

residential program designed to increase

the ‘‘adherence’’ to HIV and AIDS

medication regiments of individuals at

high risk for non-adherence, or a history

of non-adherence. The goals of the

program are: (1) To educate participants

and influence positive ‘‘medicationtaking’’ habits and behaviors whereby

they internalize successful treatment

adherence strategies, (2) to assist

participants in achieving and

maintaining long term adherence, (3) to

monitor and reinforce participants’

success by analyzing viral load and CD4

counts, and (4) to provide ancillary

support to assure successful

compliance.

The purpose of this grant is to

demonstrate how compliance with the

complicated medication regimen for

people living with HIV and AIDS who

are at high risk of noncompliance can be

increased by a short-term residential

treatment program. The START program

provides these individuals with a

sheltered, structured environment in

which the regimen can be established

and residents can be counseled and

supported.
