Maria has been HIV positive for 18 years. Before she enrolled in a health plan through the ACA marketplace, she did not have health insurance, and relied on the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program to meet her HIV health needs. The Ryan White Program now plays a different role in her life, helping with the cost of her insurance premiums which enables her to stay engaged in coverage. Maria is currently in school working towards graduate degree in social work, and her goal is to be a mental health practitioner.
