What it does
The HIV Medication Access Act would amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to expand U.S. foreign assistance for HIV/AIDS by designating certain HIV prevention and treatment activities—including providing pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications and efforts targeting at-risk populations based on WHO guidance—as core life-saving humanitarian assistance. It affects U.S. international HIV/AIDS programs by modifying how prevention activities are defined and funded under existing law. The bill adds PrEP assistance as an explicit category and clarifies that specific prevention efforts, particularly those for vulnerable groups, qualify as essential humanitarian aid.
