States can use HIV grant money to fund home and community-based health services. Priority goes to providers that join local care consortia and serve low-income patients. "Home and community-based services" means skilled care given at home under a written care plan, but it doesn't cover hospital stays or nursing homes.

(a) Uses. A state may use section 300ff–21 grant money to make grants under section 300ff–22(b)(3)(J) to entities that: (1) provide home- and community-based health services to people with HIV/AIDS, following written care plans made by a case management team that includes appropriate health professionals; (2) provide outreach to people with HIV/AIDS, including those in rural areas; and (3) coordinate those services with other HIV-related care -- including specialty care and vaccinations for hepatitis co-infection -- from public and private providers. (b) Priority. When awarding these grants, a state must prioritize entities that assure the state they will: (1) join local HIV care consortia, if any exist in the state; and (2) use the grant money to provide home- and community-based services to low-income people with HIV/AIDS. (c) "Home- and community-based health services" defined. For section 300ff–21, this term: (1) means skilled health services given to a person with HIV/AIDS in their home, under a written care plan made by a case management team that includes appropriate health professionals; (2) includes: (A) durable medical equipment; (B) home health aide and personal care services given at home; (C) day treatment or other partial hospitalization; (D) home intravenous and aerosolized drug therapy, including the prescription drugs used in it; (E) routine diagnostic testing done at home; and (F) appropriate mental health, developmental, and rehabilitation services; and (3) does not include: (A) inpatient hospital services; or (B) nursing homes or other long-term care facilities.
