According to the Orange County Health Care Agency, $7,404, 404 was spent by local public and private agencies to combat AIDS during the fiscal year ending June 30. Patient care consumed the largest share of expenditures, 57% (or $4.25 million). Education to prevent AIDS, the next largest category, received less than half as much.

A majority of the funding came from the state, which provided 63%. The county contributed 15% and the federal government 13% while nonprofit organizations such as the American Red Cross and AIDS Walk Orange County contributed the remaining 9%.
