- Get on PrEP! It's 99% effective at stopping HIV & free for most Ohioans. Plus, take it as a once-daily pill or a long-acting shot.

- Get PEP. It's like the morning-after pill for HIV! PEP is medication that someone who is currently HIV-negative can take to stop HIV after exposure.

Over 1.5 million Americans in greatest need of PrEP still can't get it. This , join Equitas Health & Mozaic in urging Congress to support legislation that protects & expands PrEP access. πŸ‘πŸ‘

There are currently 4 pieces of legislation that address critical barriers to PrEP access:

- PrEP Assistance Program Act | This legislation would establish a national PrEP grant program and federal reimbursement for uninsured people. Importantly, grants could support PrEP medications, laboratory services, clinical visits including telehealth, counseling, navigation, outreach, transportation, and other services.

- PrEP Access and Coverage Act of 2026 | These companion bills would strengthen access to PrEP and support the outreach, education, services, and navigation needed to connect people with prevention and keep them engaged.

- PrEP and PEP are Prevention Act | This legislation would require health plansβ€”including Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and federal employee health plansβ€”to cover FDA-approved PrEP and PEP, along with associated testing and services, without cost-sharing.

- PrEP Access Act | This legislation would expand Medicare coverage of HIV prevention services provided by pharmacists, including PrEP and PEP evaluation, testing, counseling, medication administration, and related services.
