 AB    People living with HIV/AIDS will have a greater need for long-term care
       options as the disease develops into a chronic, rather than an acute,
       condition. Nursing homes, a major component in the long-term care
       continuum, traditionally have been reluctant to admit PWAs, forcing some
       states to adopt incentive programs to encourage such admissions. The
       efficacy of such programs, however, has not been studied. This article
       will examine Florida's Medicaid AIDS nursing home admission incentive
       program, focusing on its effect on PWA admission rates in the state.
