PrEP Assistance Program Act

This bill would require the federal health department, through the CDC, to create a grant program within one year to start or support programs that provide PrEP, a medicine that helps prevent HIV. Grants to states, local and tribal governments, clinics, and community groups could not exceed $10 million each, and people served could not be charged. Most grantees would have to contribute at least 10 percent of the grant amount, and $400 million per year would be authorized for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. The bill would also create a separate program that pays registered health care providers for HIV prevention drugs and related lab tests given to uninsured people, who would receive a "PrEP Pass" card for no-cost access.
