Kern County has the 2nd highest rate of new HIV cases in California. Please call your reps by 2PM today to reject FY26 LHHS spending bill🚨

This is a public health crisis we cannot ignore. Every new case represents a life impacted and a community need that must be met with prevention, treatment, and support.

We must continue to:
❤️ Expand access to testing & treatment
💊 Provide HIV prevention tools like PrEP & PEP
📢 Fight stigma and raise awareness
🤝 Support those living with HIV
