Key Points
This bill adds PrEP medications to the list of tools the U.S. uses to fight HIV/AIDS in other countries. PrEP is a medicine that people can take to prevent themselves from getting HIV.
The bill labels HIV prevention and treatment as core life-saving humanitarian assistance. This makes it clear that these programs are essential for saving lives and should be a priority for U.S. foreign aid.
It directs the government to focus on helping groups of people who are at the highest risk of getting HIV. These groups are identified using scientific data from the World Health Organization.
The goal is to reduce the number of new HIV cases worldwide by making prevention tools more available. This update changes a long-standing law from 1961 that governs how the U.S. helps other nations.
