Trump administration will provide HIV prevention drug for free to uninsured in new program
The Trump administration on Tuesday detailed how it will roll out the delivery of donated HIV prevention drugs to people who should be taking them but do not have prescription drug coverage.
Pre-exposure prophylaxis or PrEP drugs, which are taken daily, have been shown to be highly effective at preventing infection, but they are expensive and too few people at risk use them. The goal of the new program, called “Ready, Set, PrEP” and unveiled by Alex Azar, secretary of health and human services, is to expand both access and use.
