PrEP To Be Provided For Free In The U.S.
“PrEp will be provided for free to people without insurance in the United States,” ‘Gay Times’ reports.
Ready, Set, PrEP is a new program that has been unveiled by the Department of Health and Human services wanting to expand the use and access of the HIV-preventing drug.
It has been estimated that more than 200,000 people will benefit from this new program.
“Ready, Set, PrEP is a historic expansion of access to HIV prevention medication and a major step forward in President Trump’s plan to end the HIV epidemic in America,” said Alex Azar, secretary of health and human services.
“Thanks to Ready, Set, PrEP, thousands of Americans who are at risk for HIV will now be able to protect themselves and their communities.
“The Trump Administration recognises the vital role of prevention in ending the HIV epidemic in America, and connecting members of vulnerable communities to prevention services and medication is an important part of the President’s initiative.”
To qualify for Ready, Set, PrEP, people must test negative for HIV, and not have prescription drug coverage.
